Date: 4 july 1927 Photo by:
T Fotohuis Vismarkt 1 Groningen
For documentary reasons I left most spots on the photo as original.
Comment continued: A new kid on the block. "T Fotohuis" means the Photo-house. It is a photo studio with a room looking like a normal (..) house. The way Griet is sitting and is reading a book means she applies for a job in a normal house (upper or middle class). Qualified to do " literate" jobs as administration, reading and educational application. A specialized segment in the job market. Well, T Fotohuis did not make it because the well known industrialization and mechanization ( pfff what a word, I need a house maid to read it for me) made an end to the Jurassic Park version of Face book. End of class (hey Jim, how did I do this kekekekeke ;)
Btway I noticed the clothing of Griet, I see her knee and she has uncovered arms. Thats all new compared to the " business cards" I have seen until now. Even sexy ;) But i guess she wants to show she is modern and that she has attitude, styl. Bravo !
I enclosed a map of the location of T Fotohuis. It is in center of town, if you look well you can find the Zwanestraat and the Herestraat ( main uplifted shopping street ) as well.
Excellent always, Harry. Film camera illustrates in 3 dimensional look, better than today's devices, even mine 21million pxl means nothing for real photographic art. have a good weekend.
