Straatartiest staat op zijn hoofd, Parijs, Ed van der Elsken, 1950 - 1954

http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/collection/RP-F-2019-299-55-8

The image shows a man performing an impressive headstand on a busy urban street. He is upside down with his legs extended straight up in the air and feet flat against the sky, balancing himself using only one arm touching the ground for support. His other hand rests on the pavement beside him. The individual appears to be wearing casual clothing—a dark jacket or sweater over lighter-colored trousers—and a belt. In the background, pedestrians are walking by; some seem to notice his unusual feat while others continue with their day without paying much attention.

The street is filled with vintage cars and bicycles indicative of an earlier era, likely mid-20th century based on the style. The environment has a European urban feel, possibly Paris given the context provided in the source citation mentioning "Paris" as part of the image description from Ed van der Elsken's work between 1950 to 1954.

The photograph is black and white, which adds a timeless quality to the scene. The compos

This black and white photograph captures a moment on the streets of Paris in 1950. A man is sitting with his legs crossed, playing an accordion while wearing a wide-brimmed hat that casts shadows across his face. He's situated against a backdrop featuring a large advertisement poster for "Cadum" cigarettes depicting a smiling woman whose features are partially obscured by the shadow of nearby foliage. The scene appears to be on a pavement, and there is text at the bottom left corner reading "Paris 1950," with handwritten inscriptions above it that read in French, suggesting additional context or attribution related to Ed van der Elsken's work from this period.

The image displays a collection of fish arranged in multiple rows within what appears to be a wooden box or container. The fishes vary in size and type, with some larger ones possibly being mackerel or similar species, laid on their sides, while others are stacked vertically above them. Each fish has its own space among the other fishes, allowing for individual visibility despite the crowded arrangement.

The photograph is rendered in black and white, emphasizing contrasts between light and shadow that give depth to the scene. The background appears darker, likely due to a lack of ambient lighting or an intention by the photographer to focus attention on the fish themselves. There are no discernible marks or labels indicating species or origin within this image.

This piece is captured in black-and-white photography which could be indicative of its age and historical context. It lacks any immediate signs of modern technology, such as packaging materials or contemporary markers for

This black and white photograph captures a moment in an urban setting, likely during the 1980s based on fashion styles. The focus is on four individuals standing closely together; three men facing away from the camera towards another person who appears to be bending down out of frame. One man with spiked hair stands prominently in front wearing studded clothing and a tartan patterned kilt, suggesting an influence from punk or alternative subcultures.

In the background, we see a busy street scene filled with people walking by; some are glancing towards the camera while others seem absorbed in their activities. The architecture includes buildings that look like commercial establishments, contributing to a lively urban atmosphere. Above them is signage for "De Telegraaf," indicating this may be near or within De Wallen (Red Light District). A notable feature of the photograph is the red text at the bottom left corner reading 'AMS 1/,' which could refer to Amsterdam and possibly denotes

The image shows a black and white photograph of an urban scene, likely taken during the late 19th or early 20th century. It captures a damaged archway labeled "GALERIJ," suggesting it was part of a larger building complex, possibly commercial given its ornate detailing. Surrounding structures appear in ruins with exposed interiors, indicating recent demolition or disaster damage. Construction materials are strewn about the area, and several individuals can be seen working amidst the debris.

In the foreground on the right side, there's an individual standing near what seems to be a utility pole. The scene is viewed from above, as if taken by someone looking down onto this chaos below. There’s no discernible movement or activity that suggests dynamism; rather, it captures stillness and abandonment after destruction.

The caption "Afbraak van de galerij" references the demolition of the gallery, with further details available through a provided link to an external source for more con

http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/collection/RP-F-2019-242-10-61

The image shows a black and white photograph of an urban street scene, likely from the early 1960s given the style. Two men are present; one is seated inside what appears to be a small establishment with large windows adorned with posters including 'MARTINI' and other items like bottles on display. The man sitting has his back towards us, facing an open door or entrance that leads into the building.

The second man stands outside in front of this establishment. He's dressed casually yet stylishly for what could be a cool climate; he wears glasses, a quilted jacket over a lighter top with pants and shoes suitable for urban walking. His posture suggests relaxed engagement as if waiting or pausing to interact momentarily before moving on.

The building is marked 'Cotton Club' in bold lettering above the entrance, suggesting it's either named such or was possibly used by that name at one point. Other signs indicate items like a "Green Spot" brand of beer and what seems to be an adverti

The image depicts a black and white street scene with several individuals engaging in various activities. In the foreground, there is an older man on the left side of the frame wearing glasses and a coat, looking away from the camera towards something out of view. Beside him stands a small child who appears to be gazing at his shoes or possibly examining them closely.

In the middle ground, we see another individual bending down near what seems like a food stand with compartments labeled "Altijd Prijs" (Always Price), suggesting it may offer fixed price items. This person is wearing glasses and has curly hair; they are engaged in an activity involving their hand reaching towards something within one of the compartments.

There's also someone standing opposite to this individual, facing away from the camera, potentially interacting with or observing them.

The background shows a street setting with various objects like vending machines lining what appears to be a market area. The

The image depicts a dog lying down on what appears to be an open suitcase. The dog has white fur with dark patches, particularly noticeable around its eyes and ears, giving it a distinctive appearance. It's positioned in such a way that one of its paws is resting across the body while the head rests comfortably against the luggage.

In front of the dog, there's a signboard written in Dutch which reads "HIER ZIJT U HET IN LAREN GEBOREN 'WONDERKALF'" and below it states "WONDERKALF" with "MET DUBBELLE KOP." The text on the board suggests that this dog was born within a barrel, referred to as "wonder calf," which is an unusual phenomenon in Dutch culture.

The background of the image appears dark and somewhat blurred, focusing attention on the dog and sign. There are also some indistinct objects around, possibly books or pamphlets near the suitcase. The overall composition suggests this could be a candid photograph capturing a moment from a fair or exhibition as mentioned in additiona

The image depicts a bustling street scene with various individuals and storefronts. In the foreground, there's an older photo of people on the sidewalk; one man is standing with his hands behind his back wearing military attire from what appears to be around World War II era uniform design—indicative perhaps of occupation forces given context clues like "US" signage—a woman in a light-colored sweater and skirt walks by. The street has brick paving, and multiple people are present going about their day; some appear to be soldiers or officials based on the uniforms one man is wearing.

Buildings with European architecture line the streets, including storefronts labeled with Dutch names like "SKOFFIE" indicating cafes ("coffee houses") common in Amsterdam's historic city center. One such establishment has an English translation sign saying "Lingerie BEJO," suggesting a mix of local and international goods or services offered at this location.

The image is black-and-white, which adds

The image is a black and white photograph featuring the face of an individual in close-up, with blurred figures surrounding them. The person appears to be Thelonious Monk based on the text annotation provided at the bottom which reads "The Monk," suggesting that this could indeed be a portrait or depiction associated with him. There's additional handwritten script indicating "Concertgebouw" and what seems like his signature in cursive, hinting at an association with Amsterdam Concert Hall.

This photograph is part of Ed van der Elsken's collection, as indicated by the source link provided which references Portret van Thelonious Monk bij een optreden in het Concertgebouw. The year mentioned suggests it was taken in 1961 during a concert event at this location. Van der Elsken is known for his work capturing various aspects of life and culture, particularly within urban environments.

The image presents an intimate yet candid portrayal with the focus on Monk's facial expression which

The image is a black and white photograph capturing an individual in the midst of singing. The person, who appears to be female based on attire and physical features, is dressed in what seems like a light-colored dress with ruffled details at the waistline. Her arms are raised above her head as she holds onto them or possibly another performer beside her, emphasizing the intensity of the performance moment captured.

The image's composition focuses on the individual against a dark background that lacks any discernible elements apart from shadows and highlights created by stage lighting. The play of light falls across different parts of her dress and body, accentuating textures such as ruffles or folds in the fabric.

There is no explicit context provided about the location beyond suggesting it could be an indoor performance space due to the dark backdrop which typically implies a concert hall setting. Notably, there's a watermark at the top right corner that indicates copyright by

The image is a black and white photograph capturing an individual in the midst of playing the trumpet. The person appears deeply concentrated on their performance, with fingers placed correctly to play notes and lips pressing into the mouthpiece. Their gaze is directed downward towards the instrument, suggesting they are intently focused on producing music.

Details such as the shine on the brass surface of the trumpet indicate it's a well-cared-for musical instrument, likely used frequently by an experienced player. The subject wears what appears to be formal attire with visible folds and texture that suggest a suit jacket, which could imply this performance is part of a professional event or concert.

The background is darkly lit, drawing attention to the performer without revealing any additional context about their surroundings. This use of contrast in lighting emphasizes the drama and intensity often associated with musical performances. The composition focuses closely on the

The image is a black and white photograph capturing a moment at what appears to be an event or concert. In the foreground, there's a close-up of individuals with their faces partially illuminated by stark lighting against a dark background, emphasizing dramatic shadows that obscure most facial features. This creates a strong contrast between light and shadow which adds intensity and depth.

In the mid-ground, two people are standing in profile facing away from the camera towards an event or audience out-of-frame. Their heads and upper shoulders are visible with subtle details of their profiles discernible despite being predominantly engulfed by shadows. The person on the right is more prominently featured than the one to the left due to better exposure.

The background suggests a crowded setting, likely inside given the close proximity of individuals that can be seen at various levels within what appears to be an elevated platform or tier seating arrangement typical for concerts or

The image is a monochrome photograph with handwritten text in multiple colors. It features the silhouette of an individual who appears to be playing a piano, as indicated by their posture and what seems like keys at the lower part of the frame. The background has blurry light spots that suggest movement or out-of-focus city lights, typical of street photography from its era.

Prominently displayed in the upper left corner are three lines of text: "E MONK" with each letter colored differently—red for 'E', blue for 'MONK', and pink again for 'MONK'. To the right side, there's a large white handwritten cursive script that reads "E J". Below this individual, in smaller letters but still discernible, is another line of text: "AA".

The overall composition has an artistic feel with its use of colors to highlight specific names and the monochromatic tones creating a moody atmosphere. The photograph captures what appears to be a candid moment from jazz culture during that period, possibly

The image captures a candid moment on a city street, showcasing an elderly man walking with purpose. He is dressed in casual attire consisting of a dark jacket with light-colored stripes at the cuffs and waistband, paired with black trousers. The individual wears a flat cap atop his head and sunglasses that obscure part of his face. His right hand appears to be grasping something small as he strolls along.

In the background, blurred figures indicate pedestrian activity in the urban environment. To the left, there's another person walking towards him, while on the right side, individuals are captured mid-motion with indistinct features due to the shallow depth of field used by the photographer.

Some individuals stand nearby observing the scene, while others engage with animals such as cows. In the foreground, there is a group of people walking through what seems to be a forested area. The figures' clothing varies from robe-like garments to traditional Western attire like hats and coats, indicating different social statuses or time periods within the depicted scenes.

The mural's background features stylized trees with dense foliage at the bottom transitioning into lighter shades towards the top, which could represent hills or mountains in the distance under a sky.

The person seated is dressed in dark clothing with distinctive socks bearing text graphics, while their companion stands closer, possibly gesturing towards them.

The background features several pedestrians walking by, adding depth and context to the scene. Their attire suggests a mix of casual and business styles typical for city life. Architectural elements such as paving stones underfoot indicate an urban setting, likely designed with pedestrian traffic in mind.

This image is associated with Ed van der Elsken's work captured during his tenure as Stel op Straat (Stranded on Street) photojournalist in Japan, 1988. The photograph exemplifies a moment frozen in time that reflects the human condition amidst urban life and social interactions.

This black and white photograph captures a bustling street scene in Japan, likely from the late 1950s to early 1960s. The focus is on several large vertical banners with Japanese text and some English writing, which suggest they are advertisements for various products or events.

One prominent banner features an image of two people, presumably actors Anne Frank and someone else, promoting a film titled "The Diary Of." Other visible texts include phrases like "松" (which means pine) and other characters that likely denote names or titles related to the promotions. The style of clothing worn by individuals in the photo indicates it is not contemporary.

Pedestrians are seen walking on the street below these banners, with their movements blurred slightly due to a long exposure setting used when taking the photograph. This technique gives them an impression of motion, suggesting the vibrancy and pace of life at that time. The lighting appears artificial, typical for urban nighttime sett

This image depicts a tranquil seascape at dusk or dawn, captured in black and white. The horizon is dominated by the silhouette of an island with what appears to be light activity on its shore, possibly indicating settlement or civilization. In contrast, another larger landmass looms in the background under a sky that transitions from dark near the top to lighter shades closer to the sea's surface.

Floating gently across this vast expanse are several small boats, their presence adding life and scale to the scene without disrupting its serene atmosphere. The water is calm with minimal disturbance except for the gentle ripples created by the moving vessels. There isn't a clear view of any land nearer than the silhouette in the distance; instead, there's an open sea that stretches far into the horizon.

The overall mood conveyed by this photograph suggests quietude and contemplation, as if inviting viewers to reflect on their own experiences or emotions connected with solitude at lar

Her hair is styled straight down to her shoulders, complementing the era's fashion trends. The cityscape behind includes various buildings indicative of older architectural styles typical for Japanese cities during that period. There are faint clouds visible in the sky above, suggesting an overcast day or possible early evening ambiance as indicated by soft lighting. In the background, a building bears signage with Asian characters, which could suggest commercial establishments present at this location. The photo seems to be part of Ed van der Elsken's collection and is identified based on its provenance from the mentioned source link.
