Kinderen op de nieuwmarktkermis, Amsterdam, Ed van der Elsken, c. 1959

http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/collection/RP-F-2019-242-19-30

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an outdoor street scene. In the foreground, two women are captured in mid-conversation; one appears to be speaking with her mouth open while gesturing with her hand, wearing a dark coat. The other woman faces away from the camera, turned towards them, dressed in a light-colored jacket or overcoat and holding what looks like a small purse or bag. In the middle ground, two more individuals are engaged in an interaction; one person is embracing another from behind, seemingly in surprise or alarm. This embrace occurs near the entrance of a building with visible signage. The scene captures a moment of everyday life on a bustling street, with various pedestrians and urban elements like buildings, walls, and possibly storefronts. The photograph carries historical connotations as it seems to be taken during an era when such attire was common for women in public settings. No specific context or background story is provided within the ima

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 is a black and white photograph depicting several people riding motorcycles in what appears to be an outdoor evening setting. The focus of the photo centers on two women seated closely together on one motorcycle, with their posture suggesting they are about to start moving or perhaps have just come to a stop amidst traffic. In addition to these riders, there is another person visible at the forefront wearing dark clothing and seemingly observing the scene, although not interacting directly. The background features other motorcycles and individuals who seem engaged in various activities typical of an urban environment during nighttime festivities such as lights from buildings or shops illuminating the area. The composition captures a candid moment with a sense of immediacy, possibly hinting at the social dynamics between these subjects or their participation in some event or gathering. The overall atmosphere evokes a historical snapshot from Amsterdam's cultural life and

Bobby Timmons van de Jazz Messengers in het Concertgebouw, Amsterdam, Ed van der Elsken, 1958

http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/collection/RP-F-2019-298-5-82

The image depicts a man immersed in playing the piano. He is captured from an angle that emphasizes his concentration and passion for music, with light highlighting his hands as they move across the keys. The monochrome tones add to the timeless quality of the photograph. Bobby Timmons was associated with the Jazz Messengers band during this period, which performed at prestigious venues such as the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. Ed van der Elsken is known for his evocative street photography and portraits from various cultural events across Europe. This particular image falls under a series titled 'Jazz,' showcasing notable figures within jazz music. The date mentioned suggests that this photograph was taken on September 20, 1958. The black-and-white style of the photo aligns with van der Elsken's typical photographic approach during that era, capturing candid and emotive moments in a stark yet striking manner.

Straatgezicht in Japan, Ed van der Elsken, 1959 - 1960

http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/collection/RP-F-2019-299-10-23

The image depicts a candid street scene in Japan from the late 1950s or early 1960s, captured by photographer Ed van der Elsken. It features three individuals: an elderly man wearing glasses and traditional attire with floral patterns is walking forward, holding his cane; behind him stands another person who appears to be a child in school uniform, looking at something out of frame. In the background, there's a third individual seen from behind, engaged in conversation or reading material near several bicycles parked against storefronts. The black and white composition conveys an atmosphere reflective of daily life during that period with visible signage written in Japanese characters indicating businesses such as a vegetable shop and other local establishments. The image is printed on glossy paper, possibly part of a publication or exhibition print from the photographer's archive, indicated by the red circle with '83' handwritten at the top right corner. The photograph captures

The image is a black and white photograph featuring a group of people, possibly photographers or artists, gathered together in what appears to be an indoor setting with shelves and items that resemble books or files. They are holding framed photographs, suggesting they may have been involved in some form of photography exhibition or project. In the center foreground, there's a man wearing glasses looking directly at the camera, his expression somewhat neutral but attentive. He is surrounded by others who seem to be smiling or focused on their frames. The people vary widely in age and style; both men and women are present, with different hairstyles indicating diverse tastes or perhaps eras. The setting looks cluttered yet organized, indicative of a workspace for creative individuals where ideas might flow freely among the group members. There's an air of casual professionalism about them as they showcase their work to others. The lighting is even across most faces, though some are

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
