Aan de Haarlemmerstraat 125 in Leiden vind je een winkelpui van een voormalige edelsmid. De pui is omstreeks 1925 aangebracht in opdracht van de juwelier P.J. van Kampenhout, wiens naam er nog op staat vermeld en is vervaardigd in een voor de bouwtijd karakteristieke, aan de Art Déco verwante stijl. De winkelpui is geclassificeerd als rijksmonument.
Dit is de laatste foto (#22) uit de serie kleurrijk Leiden in een lijstje.
At Haarlemmerstraat 125 in Leiden you will find a shop front of a former goldsmith. The shop front was installed around 1925 by order of jeweler P.J. van Kampenhout, whose name is still on it, and was made in a style characteristic of the construction period, related to Art Deco. The shop front is classified as a national monument.
This is the last photo (#22) from the series colorful Leiden in a frame.
This is an Art Deco buckle dating back to the late 1920s/early 1930s. The red bar in the centre is glass. It's only a small buckle, but I think it would have looked bright and cheerful.
I belong to 4 different weekly challenge groups, and sometimes I do all 4, but sadly this week I won't be doing any of them. This is the closest I got to the Friday group's 'Red & Green' theme, but somehow I couldn't bring myself to include just the 2 colours. Them's the breaks, I guess. Better luck next week. :)
La décohérence mène non pas à un état unique, comme dans la réalité, mais à un ensemble d'états mutuellement exclusifs dont les probabilités sont régies par les lois de la physique quantique.
I never tire of the great art deco mascots of the 20s and 30s. This design evolved over the years, changing details and design elements, but it appears it was originally designed first by designer Joseph E. Corker patent granted to Packard Motor Car Co. 7/12/1927, patent #73,026, exhibited on a Rollston cabriolet at the New York City Automobile show January 1926, Packard deluxe emblem known as the Packard "Goddess of Speed.
Based on Nike, the divine charioteer of Greek mythology.
In Greek mythology, Nike was a goddess who personified victory, also known as the Winged Goddess of Victory. The Roman equivalent was Victoria. Depending upon the time of various myths, she was described as the daughter of Pallas (Titan) and Styx (Water) and the sister of Kratos (Strength), Bia (Force), and Zelus (Zeal). Nike and her siblings were close companions of Zeus, the dominant deity of the Greek pantheon. According to classical (later) myth, Styx brought them to Zeus when the god was assembling allies for the Titan War against the older deities. Nike assumed the role of the divine charioteer, a role in which she often is portrayed in Classical Greek art. Nike flew around battlefields rewarding the victors with glory and fame. Nike is seen with wings in most statues and paintings. Most other winged deities in the Greek pantheon had shed their wings by Classical times. Nike is the goddess of strength, speed, and victory. Nike was a very close acquaintance of Athena, and is thought to have stood in Athena's outstretched hand in the statue of Athena located in the Parthenon. Nike is one of the most commonly portrayed figures on Greek coins. The shoe and sports equipment company Nike, Inc. is named after the Greek goddess Nike.
