- Small piece of paper torn of back due to tape.
= With stamp on verso: "Life Motion Photographs. Levende Foto's. Eenigst adres: Den Haag, Lange Poten 27". An interesting technique in which three different photographs were taken with the subject showing three different expressions. The celuloids were produced and placed over a vertical line grid. When slightly bendt, the expression of the portrayed seems to change. Very rare.
AND 4 other small similar photographs, three male and one female portraits.

- Needs some cleaning.
= Shows a river landscape. In the late 1820s, Kings Porcelain Manufactory in Berlin developed a new form of porcelain art. Master carvers created finely detailed scenes and portraits in wax, which were then used to make the moulds for porcelain plaques they called lithophanes. Porcelain becomes translucent when it is kiln fired at very high temperatures, and an impression, cast into porcelain, will produce a remarkably detailed design by only slight variations in its thickness. Soon hundreds of thousands of lithophanes in a variety of intricate designs were produced in Germany, France, Belgium, Ireland, Wales and England. Used as window hangings, fire screens and teapot warmers, some were also placed in the bottoms of steins and cups to delight the eye of the consumer when lifted to the light. Lithophane lamps were given a place of honor in 19th century households. By the turn of the century their popularity had waned and production virtually ceased by 1930. Few of the original lithophanes have survived to the twentieth century. As the true beauty of these translucent images depends on light, many were discarded by heirs of the original owners, unaware of their beauty when properly displayed, and therefore these original lithophanes can be regarded as very rare.
AND a bisque porcelain plate, showing a kitten and roses, also modern, ±17x24 cm., verso without any blindstamp. - AND WITH: M. CARNEY, Lithophanes (Athglen, 2008, richly illustrated, orig. boards, 4to).

= Curious collection with views of i.a. Amsterdam (i.a. farm at the Amstelveense weg) and Zandvoort and various unidentified German and Belgian towns and cities.

Recurring places are Damme (Germany), The Hague, Amsterdam, Langenau.

- Stain or spot w. rubbed-off gold leaf.
= In gold lacquer or 'Makie' photography a negative is developed w. use of a mixture of potassium bichromate, gum arabic and honey and then sprinkled with goldleaf, which adheres to the image in proportion to light exposure. The image is then transferred to a black lacquered surface. Hanbe (or Hanbeh/ Hanbei) Mizuno (1852-1920) developed this process which he had patented in 1891.

70 4535 Muybridge E 1830 1904 
= Boom/ Rooseboom p.202: "(...) The photos of galopping horses which Edward Muybridge made in the seventies and eighties proved once and for all exactly how horses move. His photos surprised many people, not least draughtsmen and painters: relying perhaps too heavily on conventional wisdom, they had for years portrayed them as stiff, wooden merry-go-round horses."
