Night Watch by Rembrandt van Rijn
Animation of exploring online the high resolution
(717 gigapixel) image of the Night Watch (1) . The Night Watch is a celebrated painting of the dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn — showing citizens of Amsterdam protecting the city. The painting is almost 400 years old. The high resolution image is a montage of 8439 pictures of the details , created using AI by the team of Operation Night Watch, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, Holland.
The focus of the animation is the highlighted girl – with a chicken upside down on her belt – the mascotte of the Amsterdam Night Watch, and resembling Rembrandt’s wife Saskia Uylenburgh.
Girls’ Gym Suit 1930 Cycling in Waddinxveen along Gouwe River | 20231210_1 | 1-memo•com
– (nederlands beneden / dutch below) –
EN – Confusing in this historical picture…those bare female legs on the bicycle! While looking for another picture of the De Schoone Haas windmill from the paper factory along the Gouwe in Waddinxveen, I found a photo in the archives of the SAMH museum in Gouda with the mention ‘Freight ship in front of the Alblas timber trade, windmill in the background, after 1905.’ — above (20231210_1) an edited version with sharpening, and brightness adjustments.
At first glance I miss the sawmill of Alblas, and next to it the Remonstrant church – of which I previously posted moving images (1). Watching that film again shows that both buildings are further back – the Remonstrant church probably because it was a clandestine church – and therefore kept out of sight here. The film also shows this second Alblas building, on the water and close to the sawmill. Not far from the De Schoone Haas paper-wind-mill there was another windmill – De Nijverheid, of which an overview photo was recently posted (2). That windmill – De Nijverheid – is recognized here in the background of the photo. The Schoone Haas windmill, which was closer to the Alblas company, appears to have disappeared at this time. The blades of the De Nijverheid windmill are missing here. The Dutch windmill database mentions (info from Jacob Stolp) that the sails of De Nijverheid were removed in 1929, and the mill was demolished in 1932 (3). So this photo was taken around 1930.
At image analysis for dating, those cyclists with bare legs are initially confusing in such a historical picture. Closer inspection reveals that posing is taking place: the cyclist on the right in the picture is perhaps a boy, and is still standing next to the bicycle, which suggests that the others have just started cycling, with the young woman (girl) on the left not yet sitting straight. Over the past month I saw a lot of photographic images of life and work along the Gouwe up to about 1920, and I almost always saw the women in skirts down to the ankles, some down to mid-calf (4).
Above is an enlargement of the cyclists (20231210_2). The woman on the bicycle in the middle wears unusual clothing with short legs with elastic on the thighs, and over that a cardigan and large (shoulder) bag. Such fashion was found in women’s magazines from around 1930…such as the Modern Gym Suit in the American magazine The Delineator Aug. 1931, for juniors (5), with option to purchase a Butterick sewing pattern. Below is a collage of clippings (edited image) from this magazine of the one-piece v-neck gym suit… “One just steps into it from the top and fastens it on the shoulders. Simple to make.”.
Modern Gym Suit | 20231210_3 | 1-memo•com | @michelvanderburg | Edited montage of cuttings from The Delineator Aug. 1931
Such a One-Piece Gym Suit is also recommended in the 1932 catalog of the American Sears Roebuck with: “You will now find this suit standard equipment in many colleges and high schools, also used by dancers …. ” (6).
Bloomer – Women’s Rights
The ‘Bloomer’ – usually larger, see also that page in the Sears Roebuck 1932 Catalog (6) – goes back – in longer versions – to the 1850s.

In general, women’s sport and activewear has helped emancipation (8).
John Noble’s 1895 ‘New Convertible Costume’ | 20231210_5 | 1-memo•com | Los Angeles Herald, 1895

Dutch :
NL – Verwarrend in dat historisch plaatje boven…die blote vrouwenbenen op de fiets! Op zoek naar nog een plaatje van windmolen De Schoone Haas van de papierfabriek langs de Gouwe in Waddinxveen, vond ik in het archief van het SAMH museum te Gouda een foto, met vermelding ‘Vrachtschip voor houthandel Alblas, op de achtergrond molen, na 1905.’ Hierboven (20231210_1) een bewerkte versie (met verscherping, en helderheid aanpassingen) van die foto.
Op het eerste gezicht mis ik in die foto de houtzagerij van Alblas , en daarnaast de Remonstrantse kerk – waarvan ik eerder film beeld gepost heb (1). Bij weer bekijken van die film blijkt dat die beide gebouwen meer naar achteren staan – de Remonstrantse kerk waarschijnlijk omdat het een schuilkerk was – en daarom dus wat uit het zicht. Voorts laat die film ook dit tweede Alblas gebouw zien, aan het water en dicht bij die zagerij. Niet ver van papiermolen De Schoone Haas heeft nog een windmolen gestaan – De Nijverheid, waarvan recent een overzichts-foto is gepost (2). Die molen – De Nijverheid – wordt hier in de foto herkend op de achtergrond. De Schoone Haas molen , die dichter bij Alblas stond, blijkt dus op dit tijdstip al verdwenen. De wieken van molen De Nijverheid ontbreken hier. De Nederlandse molen database vermeld (info van Jacob Stolp) dat de wieken van De Nijverheid werden verwijderd in 1929 , en de molen in 1932 werd afgebroken (3). Deze foto is dus rond 1930 gemaakt.
Bij de beeldanalyse voor de datering zijn die fietsers met blote benen in eerste instantie verwarrend in zo’n historisch plaatje. Nadere beschouwing van de uitvergroting hierboven van de fietsers (20231210_2) leert, dat er wordt geposeerd : de fietser rechts in beeld is misschien een jongen, en staat nog naast de fiets, wat suggereert dat de anderen zojuist zijn gaan fietsen, waarbij de jonge vrouw (meisje) links, nog niet recht zit.
De afgelopen maand zag ik veel fotografisch beeld van leven en werken langs de Gouwe tot ca 1920 , en zag ik de vrouwen vrijwel altijd in rokken tot de enkels, een enkeling tot halverwege de kuit (4).
De vrouw op de fiets in het midden draagt aparte kleding met korte pijpen met elastiek op de bovenbenen, en daarover een vest, en grote (schouder-) tas.
Dergelijke mode werd teruggevonden in vrouwenbladen van rond 1930…zoals dat Modern Gym Suit in het Amerikaanse blad The Delineator Aug. 1931 , voor jongeren … ‘Juniors’ (5), met optie om een Butterick naaipatroon aan te schaffen. Hierboven ( zie Modern Gym Suit | 20231210_3 ) een collage van knipsels uit dit blad, van het gympak uit één stuk met V-hals … ” je stapt er van boven in en sluit het op de schouders – simpel te maken. “
Zo’n One-piece Gym Suit wordt ook aangeprezen in de catalogus uit 1932 van het Amerikaanse Sears Roebuck met : “Tegenwoordig is dit standaarduitrusting op veel hogescholen en middelbare scholen, alsook bij dansers…”(6).
Bloomer – Vrouwenrechten
De ‘Bloomer’ – doorgaans ruimer , zie ook die pagina in de Sears Roebuck Catalogus 1932 (6) – gaat terug – in langere versies – tot de 1850s.
Zie boven (20231210_4) de spotprent uit een krant/magazine van ca 1852 ‘A Poser for a Bloomer’ . In een omgedraaide genderrol vraagt een ‘bloomer’ de geschokte vader van haar verloofde om toestemming om met zijn zoon te trouwen (Ref 7).
In het algemeen heeft sportkleding en activewear voor vrouwen, geholpen bij de emancipatie.

Video report of the preview 19 Jan 2023 presented by photographer Jo Struyven of photo exhibition ‘236 — Land(es)capes from the 20th Convoy’.
Photo exhibition of works by Jo Struyven and Luc Tuymans in the Jewish Museum of Belgium, Brussels, Belgium | January 20 – August 14, 2023.

On April 19, 1943, the 20th transport left the Mechelen transit camp to deport 1,631 Jews to Auschwitz. Thanks to resistance actions, both inside and outside the wagons, 236 of these deportees managed to jump from the train that would lead them to destruction.
Photographer Jo Struyven revisits this unique act of resistance in Western Europe during the Nazi regime and shows us the landscapes in which this little-known story took place.
From 20 January 2023, the Jewish Museum of Belgium, in partnership with the Auschwitz Foundation, presents the exhibition entitled ‘ 236, Land(es)capes from the 20th Convoy ‘. It is set up in the museum’s project space and offers an artistic look at an exceptional and forgotten event in the Second World War.
The 20th convoy
At 10 p.m. on April 19, 1943, the 20th convoy departed from the Kazerne Dossin transit camp in Mechelen with 1,631 Jewish deportees in cattle cars, heading for Auschwitz. Thanks to resistance actions, both inside the wagons and from outside, 236 of these deportees managed to jump from that train, that was leading them to extermination. An unique event in Europe under the Nazi administration.
Jo Struyven, photographer
The work of the Belgian photographer Jo Struyven (°Sint-Truiden, 1961) takes us back to these acts of resistance – commemorating the 80th anniversary in 2023 – and gives us a glimpse of the landscapes in which this striking story took place. Taking the perspective of those who jumped off that train, an act for which many of them paid with their lives, Struyven creates a contemporary ‘memorial’ with 19 large ‘nocturnal’ black and white images, and one colour print.
Jo Struyven :
The 20th convoy, heading for the unspeakable “Auschwitz”, crossed the area where I grew up, barely 50 meters from my childhood bedroom — I found out 2 years ago after meeting Simon Gronowski. Ever since, I imagine the distress of the deportees. The destination was unknown to them. Some, sensing the worst, tried to escape it. I wanted to give an account of this border between life and death, between resignation and the impossibility of choosing, and the freedom regained with resistance to the oppressor’s plans.

Luc Tuymans, visual artist
In dialogue with Jo Struyven’s photographs, two works by Belgian visual artist Luc Tuymans (°Mortsel, 1958) evoke the destruction of the Jews and Roma of Europe. Die Wiedergutmachung (The Reparation) depicts body parts – left the eyes of gypsy children who had been experimented on by the Nazis. … images that in its incompleteness, reflect the inability to represent facts and memory .

Art after the Shoah
“Writing a poem after Auschwitz is barbaric”, wrote German philosopher Theodor W. Adorno in 1949. Through two contemporary perspectives from the visual arts, this exhibition seeks to address this question of the (im)possibility of art after the Shoah in a new way.
Testimonies & Catalogue
This exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue book edited by Daniel Weyssow and Jo Struyven and published by the Auschwitz Foundation entitled Land(es)capes from the 20th Convoy (press release on April 19, 2023), as well as an educational space presenting the testimonies from interviews and archives of convoy escapees.
