Space Transportation System-41 B 1984

STS-41-B launched on February 3, 1984 and landed on February 11, 1984, after deploying two communications satellites.

These are hard to find original STS-41B mission photograph contact sheet shots of Astronaut Bruce McCandless during his famous STS-41B EVA (extravehicular activity). The famous NASA photograph shows McCandless floating alone above Earth, hundreds of feet from Challenger. The image became a symbol of human exploration, often described as the "ultimate solitude.

Gaudenzio Marconi was a prominent photographer who worked for artists such as Auguste Rodin, providing photographs of models and sculptures to aid in the creative process. The crouching nude (nu accroupi) was a classical pose frequently used in academic art. Marconi’s photographs of models in such poses were used by Rodin as studies or reference material for his sculptures.

Triptych Gemini GT-3 Launch

The mission was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, and the spacecraft, named "Molly Brown",
completed three orbits around Earth in just under five hours. This mission laid the groundwork for subsequent Gemini flights and contributed significantly to the success of the Apollo lunar missions. In the mid-1960s, before Apollo took astronauts to the Moon, NASA ran the Gemini program—a series of
two-man missions that tested whether humans could live and work in space for long enough to make a
lunar trip possible.

These photographs capture dramatic moments of the active launch, providing a stunning visual record of this historic event.

Among the most peculiar of all fish species is the sunfish, also commonly known as the moonfish or ocean sunfish.

In this rare vintage photograph, you can see just how symmetrical it really is: the dorsal and anal fins sit perfectly opposite each other, each with 15 rays, mirror images in motion. They're connected by a soft, wavy fin fringe that almost seems to ripple like fabric in water. The reason for this lies in its oval, rounded, disc-like flattened shape.

This black-and-white photograph shows Jess Willard (1881–1968), former heavyweight champion, surrounded by smiling neighborhood children in Yonkers, NY. Shortly after, he began training for a comeback fight against Floyd Johnson. The photo bears stamps from Underwood & Underwood and is dated April 25, 1923.

Willard, known as the “Pottawatomie Giant,” became world-famous when he knocked out Jack Johnson in Havana in 1915. He successfully defended his title but lost it in 1919 after a brutal bout against Jack Dempsey, during which he sustained multiple broken bones. His resilience is still celebrated as one of the greatest examples of perseverance in boxing history.

Gemini capsule Interior, 1965

This is an excellent view inside a Gemini spacecraft cockpit — looking at both crew stations. Gemini had two astronauts seated side-by-side, unlike Mercury’s single-seat capsule. On the right is the command pilot’s panel, where the commander sat. On the left is the pilot’s side, with its own hand controller.

Posing for a sculpture by Rodin in 1865 could take hours, days, or even weeks. Models were expensive, and some poses—such as that of this Fallen Angel—were so complex that they sometimes hindered the artistic process more than they helped. It is therefore not surprising that Rodin soon began to recognize the power of photography.

This rare image captures precisely that moment where photography and sculpture intersected.

Surveyor Mission Mosaics, 25,4 x 20,3 cm

Between 1966 and 1968, NASA’s Surveyor program sent a fleet of unmanned spacecraft to the Moon.
These mechanical scouts transmitted thousands of images back to Earth, including an extraordinary trove of television footage that proved vital in planning the manned Apollo landings.

Each one was a one-way mission: to land softly on the Moon, capture detailed images and scientific data, and transmit that information back to Earth. Once their mission was complete, they remained right where they had landed—silent sentinels on the lunar surface.

In 1969 Astronauts of the Apollo 12 landed their Lunar Module just a few hundred meters from Surveyor
3. The astronauts paid the aging probe a visit, took photographs, and even removed several
components to bring back to Earth. These pieces were later studied to understand how two and a half years
on the Moon had affected the spacecraft’s materials, particularly in the harsh conditions of space.

Astronomie ─ Berliner Mond-Atlas.

30 vintage gelatin silver prints. Each 21 x 21 cm. Total 230 x75 cm

The collaborative lunar photography project by Adolf Voigt and Hans Giebler was instrumental in astronomical observation during the height of the space race. Using the 12-inch Bamberg-Refractor telescope at the Wilhelm Foerster Observatory, they captured detailed images of the moon’s surface with a custom-built camera, meticulously documenting its various phases.

Conducted shortly before the Apollo 11 moon landing, their work not only provided valuable visual records but also heightened public interest in lunar exploration during this pivotal era in space history.

7 mei 1945, twee dagen na de capitulatiebespreking in Wageningen, werd de bevrijding gevierd op de Dam in Amsterdam toen rond drie uur 's middags plotseling schoten werden gelost door Duitse militairen vanaf het balkon van De Groote Club, op de hoek met de Kalverstraat. Hierbij vielen minstens 32 doden.

De foto's die in 1944-1945 in het geheim werden gemaakt met de 'ondergedoken camera’ zijn officieel opgenomen in het UNESCO Memory of the World Register. Een indrukwekkende erkenning voor beelden die niet alleen fotografisch uitzonderlijk zijn, maar ook een krachtig document vormen van verzet, veerkracht en menselijkheid in oorlogstijd.
Bij DOF hebben we de eer om originele afdrukken van Ad Windig aan te bieden – afdrukken die hij zélf nog in de donkere kamer heeft gemaakt. Windig was één van de fotografen die destijds onder enorme risico’s deze beelden wist vast te leggen.
Voor wie zich bezighoudt met fotografie, erfgoed of geschiedenis is dit een bijzondere verzameling.

And the good news is: we’ll be open again this Thursday – everyone’s welcome to come and take a look! For more info about the works and prices you can visit www.dof.amsterdam

Op 12 april opent Dof een nieuwe tentoonstelling met onder andere een serie zeldzame foto’s van een piepjonge Johan Cruijff, gefotografeerd tussen 1965 en 1967. Ruim zestig jaar geleden, op 15 november 1964, debuteerde de legendarische nummer veertien (met een goal) voor Ajax. Hoewel Michels het nog niet de tijd vond om Cruijff een vaste plaats in het elftal
te geven, kreeg hij op 24 oktober 1965 tegen DWS toch een basisplaats. Met Cruijff in de spits bleef Ajax vervolgens zestien wedstrijden op rij ongeslagen. #ajaxfc #cruijff #amsterdam

Done! Just in time for Christmas😅. These beautiful frames were made by Joris. A glass slide of a study for a shark from 1900 was given a hardwood lightbox, and 4 microphotographs from Braunschweig were mounted in an elevated plexiglass frame.

Sold yesterday a photogravure Stanislaw Walery.
The portfolio from which this image came was titled “NUS” (“Naked”) and was credited in the title to Laryew, an anagram used in an effort to separate Stanislas Walery’s erotic work with his more formal photography, as well as the work of his father. NUS included 100 heliogravures of nude women in various poses ranging from classical to modernist; some featured stark, angular lighting and architectural details, lending them a machine-age, Art Deco style. It is thought that these women are dancers from the popular Folies Bergere, a subject he frequently revisited.NUS considered among the best examples of experimental Art Deco photography.

Sold yesterday a photogravure Stanislaw Walery.
The portfolio from which this image came was titled “NUS” (“Naked”) and was credited in the title to Laryew, an anagram used in an effort to separate Stanislas Walery’s erotic work with his more formal photography, as well as the work of his father.

WILLARD, Jess (1881-1968).
Photo of Jess Willard in Yonkers. 1923.
Black and white photograph depicts former heavyweight champion Jess Willard standing amidst a group of smiling neighborhood children in Yonkers, NY, shortly
before beginning training for his comeback match against Floyd Johnson. Stamped “Apr 25 1923” on verso.
Known as the Pottawatomie Giant, Jess Willard became an international sensation when on April 5, 1915, he knocked out heavyweight champion Jack Johnson in the 26th round before a huge crowd in Havana, Cuba. Willard defended his title the following year in a bout against Frank Moran on March 25, 1916 at Madison Square Garden. The end came on July 4, 1919, in a fight against Jack Dempsey in Toledo, Ohio. It is said during this bout that Willard lost several teeth and suffered a broken jaw and three broken ribs. Dempsey won the title in the fourth round, though Willard’s refusal to give up even after the beating he’d suffered is today considered to be one of the most impressive displays of perseverance in
boxing history."
