Place du Jeu de Balle
This negative was found at Place du Jeu de Balle in Bruxelles - A photograph of a woman sitting in a chair, she holds a little baby.
20 Postcards and a printed leporello.
I printed postcards with this image on it and sent it to random addresses in The Netherlands with the request to sent it back to me after putting a small text underneath.
The great unknown: lies in front of us!
50's in fall with new life.
The good old days, when happiness was still very common.
The sixties. She doesnt look really happy. A bit of a sad person.
Beutiful child, less beautiful mother, if that is the mother?! Very old-fashioned curtains so I don't think of a Dutch hospital. Something Polish?! Mom's glasses are cool for sure!
Motherhood Joy Responsibility.
Madonna?
Happiness is always visible
Dear Herman, we are waiting with great sorrow and love on your homecoming. The carnations I got from our mother. Lots of love from your wife and daughter.
A happy young mother is of all times! Only the "environment" changes.
Look back into the fifties. Then happiness; now constriction. Good luck, Hans.
Let's together make sure there is a safe future for this child.
Maternity visit; visit from a woman who is not a mother herself. (Eastern Europe, 80's)
Mother with baby, happy but awkward. Not in the Netherlands or not from this era. (old-fashioned photo) Born in the hospital. I think the mother needs to get used to the whole situation.
I think a young student mother with nice ideas. I wish you the best of luck
60's
Hello Machteld, here is a response to your request. I see a very young single mother in this. Happy with her baby. Living alone in a room. Uncertain future for her child. Flowers from friends. And that's about it. Good luck to you.
Birth of a child Very happy In the 60's or 70's
A cheerful perspective on my lap, with a depressing background. September 1960?
