The image is a black and white photograph depicting a scene from a ballet performance. In the center, there's a female dancer wearing a tutu with pink feathers on her head, indicative of traditional ballet attire for women in such roles. She is performing an en pointe dance move where one foot supports her weight while the other extends outward, demonstrating grace and balance.

Surrounding her are several male dancers dressed as courtiers or characters from historical European tales, characterized by their elaborate costumes with ruffled collars, cuffs, and tails. They appear to be holding onto a long pole which is connected to what seems like a theatrical prop above the stage. Their attire contrasts sharply with that of the female dancer.

The background suggests an indoor setting with draped curtains in the back, adding to the ambiance typical for ballet performances. The lighting appears focused on the dancers, highlighting their movements and expressions against the relatively dark backdrop.

This image is part of Ed van der Elsken's work capturing moments from a dance performance. Van der Elsken was known for his vivid photography that captured everyday life in Amsterdam with warmth and intimacy, often focusing on cultural events such as theatre performances or music concerts. This particular photograph reflects not only the physicality and poise required in ballet but also hints at the broader social context of pe [...]

The image captures a bustling street scene from what appears to be rural Mexico, likely taken during the mid-20th century. The black and white photograph showcases numerous individuals engaged in various activities: some walking on footpaths made of dirt or cobblestones; others pushing carts filled with goods, possibly for sale at local markets; while another individual seems to lead a goat by its reins.

The attire suggests a traditional setting—men are wearing wide-brimmed hats and loose-fitting clothing, indicative of the region's climate. Women can be seen in modest dresses or skirts paired with blouses, typical of Mexican rural fashion during that era. The presence of children is also notable; they're dressed similarly to adults but wear more colorful garments.

The architecture lining the street has a colonial style characteristic of many towns in Mexico, featuring stucco walls and simple facades. In the background, buildings rise with minimal adornment, signaling an unpretentious environment focused on community life over architectural grandeur.

An old truck is parked amongst the throng, adding to the sense that this was captured at a time when modernity had not yet fully encroached upon rural Mexico's daily routines. The absence of any contemporary technology or vehicles further emphasizes the historical context and cultural authenticity conveyed by Van der Elsken in his photograph.

The overall composition conv [...]

The image depicts a moment between two young individuals, presumably in an outdoor setting such as a park. The younger man with dark hair is wearing a sweater and appears to be seated on another person's lap or beside them. He has his arm around the shoulder of what seems to be a younger woman who rests her head against him, displaying affectionate body language.

The image captures this intimate moment in black-and-white, giving it an enduring quality that might suggest a scene from mid-20th century photography. The focus is on their expressions and physical connection rather than any background details, which are intentionally blurred or indistinct to emphasize the subjects' interaction.

This photograph may have been taken by Ed van der Elsken, as indicated in the provided source information. Van der Elsken was a Dutch photographer known for his work documenting everyday life across Europe during various decades. The image is likely part of his body of work captured between 1950 and 1954.

The image depicts a bustling urban street scene in Japan, with various pedestrians walking by the iconic Toho Theater. The theater's facade is adorned with large banners featuring Japanese characters and symbols from popular films or events of that time period, notably marked "1960" indicating its historical significance as a cultural landmark. People are dressed in mid-20th century attire; men wearing hats and overcoats while women wear skirts and coats, reflecting the fashion trends of the era.

The street is lined with other shops or establishments displaying their goods to passersby, creating a vibrant atmosphere indicative of an active nightlife scene. The presence of such advertisements suggests that this area was likely a commercial hub during its time. Despite being in black and white, the image conveys a sense of nostalgia for Japan's mid-20th century urban life.

This photograph is credited to Ed van der Elsken, as indicated by the reference link provided which connects it to his portfolio "Straatgezicht met bioscoop" from 1959 - 1960. Van Der Elsken was known for capturing candid images of cityscapes and street life around the world during this period.

The image is a black and white photograph featuring an individual standing on what appears to be an urban street, underpass or bridge structure. The person has distinctive features: short hair with prominent spikes, possibly bleached blonde, and glasses that reflect the surroundings but obscure their eyes entirely due to bandages covering them.

They are dressed in casual attire consisting of a plaid shirt underneath a large overcoat or jacket which is open at the front, revealing pockets and what looks like an umbrella inside. The individual also wears dark trousers and black shoes with socks visible above them. They carry something that could be either a book or folder under their right arm.

In the background, there's a bustling street scene: bicycles parked on one side, indicating this might be in a city known for cycling culture; cars passing by suggest traffic movement; signs are partially visible but not entirely readable due to perspective and focus. The image exudes an atmosphere of candidness or urban exploration, capturing a moment that feels both personal and universal.

This photograph carries significant context as it is attributed to Ed van der Elsken (1925-2005), who was known for his street photography in the Netherlands and Japan during the latter half of the 20th century. The subject's anonymity adds a layer of intrigue, often employed by photographers [...]

The image depicts a young couple in an urban environment, captured by the renowned photographer Ed van der Elsken. The photograph is presented as a black and white print with ample negative space around it, which accentuates the subjects within the frame.

The man stands behind the woman, embracing her closely from behind—a gesture that suggests intimacy or protection. He wears a casual t-shirt, indicative of leisure time rather than work attire. His expression is neutral to contemplative, directed away from the camera and possibly towards something outside his field of vision.

The young woman in front has short hair and appears somewhat distressed or concerned as she looks off into the distance, not engaging with the viewer directly. She too wears a casual t-shirt that matches her companion's style but with subtle differences like a pocket on hers.

Behind them, blurred figures hint at activity—possibly passersby walking by—a common sight in bustling city streets. The soft focus of these background elements ensures they don't detract from the couple as the main subjects.

This image captures not just physical details but also conveys an emotional narrative between the two individuals. It's a still life that invites viewers to project their interpretations onto it, making for a compelling piece in van der Elsken’s portfolio known for its deep cultural insights and candid [...]

The image depicts a street scene in black and white, suggesting it is from an earlier time period. It shows several people engaged in different activities: three individuals are riding bicycles on the road, while another person walks along the sidewalk carrying what appears to be groceries or packages. The figures exhibit varied postures and movements indicative of everyday life.

The setting includes a wide street with pedestrians walking alongside it; some appear more distant than others due to perspective. Street lamps line both sides of the road, indicating urban infrastructure. Buildings are visible in the background on one side, adding context to an urban environment. The overall atmosphere is somewhat hazy or foggy, giving depth and a slightly mysterious quality to the scene.

The photograph captures a slice-of-life moment that could be from Japan during the late 1950s to early 1960s based on its visual style and historical context provided by the caption. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler, perhaps more rural urban setting with people going about their daily routines in an organized manner.

It is worth noting that this photograph is part of Ed van der Elsken's collection as documented at https://images.loener.nl/EdvdElsken/full/6484/64844a12ba25398d90833899.jpg. Van der Elsken was known for his street photography, often capturing the everyday liv [...]

http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/collection/RP-F-2019-299-6-82

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an outdoor scene, possibly taken in Japan during the late 1950s or early 1960s. It shows several individuals standing on what appears to be a courtyard area surrounded by traditional Japanese architecture. In the foreground, numerous pigeons are scattered across the ground as if they've been fed recently.

In the center of the image is an individual wearing a coat and carrying a bag, walking amongst or possibly feeding the birds. To their right, another person stands with some items in hand but does not seem to be interacting directly with the pigeons. In the background, more people can be seen near structures that resemble traditional Japanese buildings such as tea houses or pagodas.

The overall atmosphere is calm and serene, capturing a slice of daily life possibly within an urban park setting. The black-and-white tone adds a timeless quality to the scene, emphasizing contrasts in light and shadow on the subjects' faces and bodies. This photograph could be associated with photographer Ed van der Elsken's work from Japan during that period.

The image also includes metadata indicating it is part of Vrouw op een plein met duiven collection by Van der Elsken. The alt text for this particular photo suggests a focus on the woman in the coat and her interaction or observation of the pigeons, providing context to both subjec [...]

The image is a black and white photograph showcasing an impressive close-up of what appears to be a large, industrial antenna structure. It's mounted on a complex framework with various pipes and cables supporting it against the sky, giving off an aura of technological advancement or perhaps communication-related activities.

This particular piece features in Schotelantenne in Japan (Antenna Tower), as documented by Ed van der Elsken during his travels to Japan between 1985 and 1990. Van der Elsken is known for capturing the cultural essence of cities, with a unique emphasis on human interactions within urban environments.

The photograph has been framed neatly in what seems like an art gallery setting, suggesting its importance or value as a piece of modern photography documenting post-war Japanese society through van der Elsken's lens. The image exudes a sense of historical significance and technological marvel from the era it represents.

The image is a black and white photograph capturing a moment in time. It features a horse-drawn carriage moving along what appears to be the Prins Hendrikkade, a street in Amsterdam. A sign on the carriage reads "VAN DER ELSKEN & LOOPS", suggesting it may have been a business or perhaps the name of the owner. The photograph is dated between c. 1947 and c. 1970, indicating that it likely depicts a scene from around mid-20th century.

In the foreground, there's a person standing near the carriage, dressed in casual attire with a cap on their head. The background shows buildings with signs, though the specific content of the signs is not clear due to the distance and the resolution of the image. The presence of the horse-drawn carriage suggests that this was a common mode of transportation during that era before the widespread use of automobiles.
