Product description
1st edition! The photographs Ed van der Elsken took in "his city" between 1947 and 1970 he collected in the photo book Amsterdam. An unmissable time document of the famous city photographer. 'My Amsterdam. My Amsterdammers. That's what Ed van der Elsken wanted to capture, preferably up close. 'People from decent neighborhoods, the Nieuwmarkt, the Jodenbuurt, the Pijp, Kattenburg. People who never come to the Apollolaan or the Gold Coast, well maybe as a milkman, or a burglar.' Ed van der Elsken loved commotion, action. Not for nothing did he call Amsterdam "my hunting ground. He photographed demonstrations, the market, the fair, traffic. But also workmen, rebellious youths and beautiful girls. And 'dirty cops' who often cracked down on riots. The photographs he took in 'his city' between 1947 and 1970 he collected in the photobook Amsterdam, the first edition of which appeared in 1979. His innovative and disarming style made the book a classic. Now a reissue appears, for which new scans have been made of all the original negatives. Specifications Title: Amsterdam!
