The image is a black and white photograph depicting a lively scene with several people gathered outdoors. A group of individuals, including men, women, and children, are seen dancing or moving rhythmically to the beat of music played by two musicians seated on what appears to be log drums. The attire varies among the participants; some wear traditional clothing with patterns and accessories such as head wraps, while others sport more casual contemporary outfits.

The expressions on their faces suggest enjoyment and engagement in the cultural activity. In the background, other people are also present, standing or walking around, possibly watching or waiting for their turn to join the dance. The setting seems informal, likely a public space used by the community for social gatherings or celebrations.

The image shows a man sitting in front of a microphone, wearing glasses and dressed in a patterned sweater. He appears to be engaged in an interview or speaking on the radio, as suggested by his focused expression and hand positioning near a notepad which implies he may be referring notes while talking into the mic.

In terms of style, it is presented in black-and-white with high contrast between light and dark areas, giving it a classic look. The man's attire includes a cap and sunglasses indoors, which might indicate an unconventional or relaxed approach to fashion at that time.

The overall ambiance suggests this could be part of an experimental broadcast on Kabel TV Amsterdam during the 1980s period referenced in the context provided by Onderdeel van de experimentele uitzending. The inclusion of a smaller image with what appears to be graffiti or abstract artwork adds another layer, perhaps reflecting themes related to minority groups and police relations.

This photograph captures an important moment from Ed van der Elsken's body of work, which is known for its candid portrayal of the vibrant street life in Amsterdam during that era.

The image is a black and white photograph featuring several people in an outdoor urban setting. In the foreground, there's a man wearing a light-colored cap with his back turned to the camera, looking towards two women who are walking away from him on a paved street or sidewalk. One woman wears a sleeveless dress while reaching out for something or someone outside of the frame, and another follows her in a similar style but is more upright.

Behind them stands an older man seated casually with his legs crossed, holding what appears to be a drink container, possibly a soda bottle. He has dark hair styled upward and looks directly at the camera, exuding a relaxed demeanor. Other people can be seen around him: some are walking in various directions, while others sit or stand further back.

The architecture includes structures with exposed beams on the upper right side of the photo, suggesting an area that may have been industrial or repurposed for social gatherings such as bars and restaurants. The scene has a candid quality, capturing everyday interactions among people outside these establishments. 

This photograph is part of Ed van der Elsken's work documenting life in Cebu during 1959-60 at the Blue Dahlia Bar and Restaurant (formerly known as Susie's Blue), which provides insight into mid-century social scenes through his lens.

The image is a black and white photograph capturing the entrance to Susie's Blue Bar, as indicated by the sign hanging above. The bar appears to be situated on an outdoor patio or veranda of what seems like a single-story building with wooden shutters. Several individuals are present in various states of relaxation.

On the left side under the awning, there is a group seated and standing around: one person stands holding onto something outside their reach, possibly for stability; another leans forward on his elbows as if deep in thought or fatigue; two people sit casually with hats shading them from above. The central figure appears to be interacting with someone off-camera.

On the right side of the entrance is a woman wearing a floral print dress and a mannequin-like posture looking toward the camera, both standing beside an open doorway that leads into darkness beyond. Behind her, another person sits on a bench or low stool in repose.

In front of Susie's Blue Bar, there are more individuals: one sitting with crossed legs clutching something to their chest, possibly indicating distress; two others sit side by side looking away from the camera and towards an event outside this frame. The overall scene conveys a sense of daily life and leisure in a social venue during what appears to be mid-20th century.

The photograph is part of Ed van der Elsken's collection, showcasing scenes likely captured on Cebu Island between 1 [...]

Tekening op de decorafdeling van NOS met Koningin Juliana en televisiepersonages Fred Haché en Barend Servet, Ed van der Elsken, 1982 - 1990

The image depicts a monochrome photograph of an indoor setting, likely part of the collection from NOS (Netherlands Organized State Television). The main focus is on two framed portraits displayed against brick wall surfaces. In one frame, there are three individuals: two men and one woman. One man appears to be giving a thumbs-up gesture while wearing glasses and a suit jacket; another man stands beside him in formal attire with his hand raised as if waving or greeting someone. The central figure is an older woman dressed elegantly in a black gown, adorned with a large brooch on her chest.

In the foreground of this portrait frame lies a real-life image capturing a dog mid-air capture from behind; it seems to be leaping off a surface, possibly playing fetch or being photographed playfully. The second framed picture appears similar but is smaller and placed above the first one in terms of vertical positioning within its respective corner.

The lighting on these objects suggests an indoor environment with natural light coming through windows not visible in this cropped image. There are no discernible colors due to it being a black-and-white photo; however, shades vary from white to deep blacks indicative of varying textures and tones like the brick wall's rough texture compared to the smoothness seen within the frames' portraits.

The presence of 'Ed van der Elsken' suggests this work is by Edouard Van Der Elsken (1925-19 [...]

rijksmuseum.nl/en/collection/R

The image is a black and white photograph of an elderly man in profile view. His face shows signs of aging, with prominent wrinkles and deep-set eyes that convey a sense of wisdom or contemplation. The man appears to be wearing glasses on his left ear and has short, graying hair. He's dressed in what seems to be formal attire, suggesting he may be attending an official event or meeting.

The background is blurred but hints at an indoor setting with indistinct shapes that could indicate furniture or other individuals present out of focus. The photograph appears aged, as suggested by the slight discoloration and texture on the print itself, indicating it might have been taken several decades ago. This image seems to capture a moment from Ed van der Elsken's work during his tenure at NOS (Nederlands Omroep Stichting), possibly depicting someone involved in journalism or media given the context provided by the source link.

The overall mood of the photograph is introspective and dignified, focusing on the individuality and character of the man captured.

This black and white photograph captures a group of people engaged in what appears to be a serious discussion around a large conference table. The room has an industrial feel, with exposed pipes on the ceiling and a high contrast between light and shadow that adds depth to the scene.

A striking feature is a mural or portrait hanging above the heads of most participants, depicting two men looking down towards them. This figure suggests historical significance but cannot be identified based on visual description alone.

The individuals at the table are concentrated on papers in front of them and appear deeply absorbed in their work, with pens poised over sheets that seem to contain handwritten notes or data. The attire is varied, ranging from formal suits to casual shirts and trousers, indicating a mix of professional roles within this gathering.

There's an air of concentration as people lean forward slightly, some are gesturing while speaking, suggesting active debate or analysis taking place. Papers with printed documents can be seen strewn across the table alongside personal items like cups and glasses, hinting at a possibly long meeting session.

Overall, it depicts a moment in time during what appears to be an important group discussion or strategy session within a professional context. The setting seems non-urban due to its utilitarian design, which could suggest that this gathering is taking place either after-hou [...]

The image is a black and white photograph depicting several individuals who appear to be in motion, possibly dancing or engaged in some form of expressive activity. The main subjects are four men in the foreground, with their bodies angled towards each other as if interacting closely through dance. One man on the right side appears particularly animated, his mouth wide open mid-speech and eyes closed, suggesting a moment of exuberance or vocal expression.

The second individual from the left has an unusual feature: he is wearing what seems to be eye-wear made out of bandages or string, obscuring part of his face. The others are dressed in casual clothing appropriate for outdoor activities such as jackets and shirts with rolled-up sleeves.

In the background, another group can be seen engaging in a similar activity; however, they are less focused compared to the main subjects. This backdrop suggests that this event is communal or public rather than isolated.

The setting seems informal outdoors during daylight hours. The overall composition conveys energy, emotion, and perhaps some sense of camaraderie among participants.

As for additional context on "Geloofsgemeenschap genaamd 'The Apostles' tijdens een rituele dans", it is linked to Ed van der Elsken's work from 1959. However, without more information about the specific event or cultural significance of this image within that period and location, further details cannot [...]
