Issu d’une famille exilée, je suis sensible aux histoires de migrants, à ces hommes et femmes contraints de fuir la misère ou les persécutions, de reconstruire leur vie. L'exemple de ces Hongrois devenus célèbres est exceptionnel. Beaucoup étaient juifs.

This photo was taken around 1918 at portrait studio Merkelbach at the Leidseplein. Since the 16th century individual black people were portrayed in Amsterdam/NL. This week I share some still unidentified #portraits. #BlackHistoryMonth #day19
Studio Merkelbach (1913-1969) was one of the many portrait studios in the Netherlands. The unique archive of ten thousands of Photographic plates survived and is kept @stadsarchief. Many Amsterdammers and visitors were photopgraphed. Like American singer Elmer Spyglass in 1913.
Among the thousands of portraits after #WW2, there are many soldiers, like the four photos of Alphonso H. Young (1931-2017) taken in 1952. Young was a American serving the @usairforce in #Germany at the time. #portraits #BlackHistoryMonth
American Jazz singer Arabella Fields (1879-after 1933) performing at Grand Gala on Rembrandtplein #Amsterdam. I shared this drawing yesterday in a series of unidentified #portraits, thanks to @Sanspareille we now know it is Arabella Fields. #blackhistorymonth #day18
IN the 1890's Fields arrived in Europe, where she toured for many years. Between 1915 and 1919 she and her husband Engelhardt Albert Georg Winter lived in Heerenstraat in Amsterdam. Winter was a German Impresario and pianist and is probably the pianist in the drawing.
Listen to Arabella Fields
