![The image displays a monochromatic photograph of an ancient stone statue. The sculpture is crafted in the form of what appears to be a child, with rounded shoulders and hips, standing on two legs. Its head is slightly tilted downwards towards its torso, and it has protruding ears that seem large for the body size. There are visible marks or texturing across different parts of the figure's surface, indicating wear over time or intentional design features.
The statue stands against a plain background which contrasts with the rough texture of the stone sculpture itself. The photograph captures details such as cracks and patches on its surface, suggesting age and exposure to elements. Notably, there are circular indentations in what seems like an armrest area near one side of the figure's body, possibly for functional or aesthetic reasons.
The image is labeled with a title that suggests it may be part of a collection or exhibition focused on stone sculptures from Mexico dated 1960 as mentioned. However, without further context provided within this single image, additional specifics about the sculpture’s provenance, significance in Mexican culture, and its exact historical period remain undefined based solely on visual information.

Fragment van de muurschildering 'El hombre controlador del universo' door Diego Rivera in het Paleis voor Schone Kunsten in Mexico-Stad, Ed van der Elsken, 1960

![The image is a black and white photograph of Diego Rivera's mural "El hombre controlador del universo" (Man Controller of the Universe), which appears to be printed on paper or canvas. The artwork depicts various figures in what seems like an industrial setting, with machines and mechanical elements prominent throughout. Central to the composition is a large machine that looks both biological and technological—a complex organ-like structure with intricate details—surrounded by multiple human forms interacting with it.
The upper portion of the mural shows individuals focused on their tasks, possibly working within this grand mechanism. The right side features a group of figures gathered around another man who appears to be addressing or instructing them. Their expressions are varied, suggesting concern and discussion. On the left, an individual is holding what seems like a large clock or gauge with multiple dials.
The mural contains abstract swirls and circular patterns that suggest movement and complexity within this scene. The overall composition conveys themes of control, industry, and perhaps the relationship between humans and technology during Rivera's time period.

Houten sculpturen van de drie koningen, in Mexico, Ed van der Elsken, 1960
#Houten #Mexico #EdvanderElsken #Kings #theThreeKings #fotografie #photography #EdVanDerElsken #EdvanderElsken
![The image depicts a black and white photograph of three figures dressed in elaborate costumes, standing side by side. The central figure appears to be an elderly person with long gray hair and beard, wearing what seems like a crown or headpiece made from straw-like materials, accompanied by a similarly themed staff. To the left is another figure in costume resembling a mythical creature with horns that taper into pointed tips; this character holds a large rod-like object, possibly a scepter. On the right stands yet another individual adorned in attire and accessories suggesting folklore influences, including what appears to be hair made from straw or fibers, contributing to an overall theme of medieval fantasy or historical reenactment.
The costumes are detailed, with textures that mimic natural materials such as wood, fur, and plant life, indicating they might represent the Three Wise Men (or Kings) in a theatrical production. The background is plain, focusing all attention on the figures themselves. There's no discernible setting beyond this; it seems like a staged photograph rather than capturing an actual event or location.

![The image is a black and white photograph depicting an intimate family moment. In the foreground, there's a man sitting on what appears to be church pews, cradling a baby wrapped in a cloth with floral patterns over his lap. Beside him sits another child wearing striped pajamas, attentively looking towards someone outside of the frame. The setting suggests they are inside a religious building, as indicated by the design and materials visible around them.
In the background to the right, there is an out-of-focus figure that seems like part of this family group but cannot be clearly identified due to lack of focus on their face or body shape.
The photograph captures a candid snapshot of everyday life with attention drawn primarily towards the seated man's interaction with his children. The overall mood conveyed by the image is one of quiet domesticity and familial closeness, set against an environment that suggests community gatherings such as church services were common social settings for families during this time period in Mexico.
The photograph carries historical significance, capturing a slice of life from mid-20th century urban environments, specifically within Mexican culture.

![The image is a black and white photograph of an illustration depicting the traditional attire of a male figure, likely representing ancient Mexican culture. The individual stands facing forward with their head turned slightly to display various items labeled in Spanish as part of this cultural representation.
Starting from the top, we see 'OREJERAS' which refers to earrings; followed by 'PINTURA FACIAL,' indicating face paint or tattoos around the eyes; and above that is a headdress identified as 'NARIGUERA.' Moving down his torso, labeled pieces include 'BEZOTE,' possibly a collar bone ornamentation, with 'COLLAR' directly below it. The figure's chest features an ornate piece of clothing called a 'BRAZALETE.'
The midsection reveals two weapons: one is identified as 'DARDOS,' which means darts or arrows, and the other labeled item appears to be part of a weapon system known as "ATLATL LANZADADOS," commonly referred to as an atlatl with dart projectiles.
His lower body shows more traditional garments like 'MAXFLATL' for breechcloths or loincloths. The right leg is adorned with what seems to be protective knee pads labeled 'LAJORCAS.' His feet are dressed in sandals, and the left foot has a specific component marked as "SANDALIAS5."

In the foreground, there's handwritten text in Spanish on what appears to be a page with a decorative border at its top. The handwriting is somewhat faded but includes phrases such as "Hahindo benido á pasiar," mentioning events related to a train station and individuals named Juana Timida y Juanita del Mariano Ruiles.
The central part of the photograph shows an illustration of a steam locomotive on tracks with smoke emerging from its chimney, indicating motion. The engine car has several windows and is connected by a chain link to another similar carriage behind it. There are barrels or kegs lying beside the track at the bottom left corner, suggesting some industrial activity.

The group is comprised mainly of men dressed in formal 19th-century attire, including suits with waistcoats and ties for some, while others wear more traditional garments that suggest cultural significance, possibly indigenous or regional dress from a specific country.
