RE: World News

Hi Juliette and Thomas,
 
Thanks for your explanation, Thomas.
I have also just spoken to someone here who has explained what is happening. For some reason, in addition to the multi-emails or combined emails that come to me I am getting them delivered multiple times. He has made adjustments to my email accounts and says it won't happen again.
 
Regarding the illustration: This looks to me somewhat similar to George Grosz's style. That doesn't mean he did it, of course.
 
Regarding WW1: I have heard of one or more lantern slide collector(s) in the UK who have collected large numbers of WW1 slides. I don't know if Belgium was included, but I'd think that is quite likely. As you know, when the Kaiser's troops (we shouldn't call them German) went into Belgium from 1914 they committed numerous atrocities. See Jeff Lipkes, Rehearsals : The German Army in Belgium, August 1914 (Leuven: Leuven University Press, 2007). These actions became the subject of counter propaganda.
 
Several film cameramen also went to Belgium at that time.
 
Apologies again, Thomas, for misunderstanding the way the google groups thing works. I am really computer illiterate!! And congratulations on your website visual-media: it is a real jewel!
 
best regards,
Stephen Bottomore

Hi Stephen,
 
Hope you are keeping well. I think Thomas has just revived thee google-group. I've only recently begun to see all of these messages myself. half-way down - in the email about the watercolour scetch from Thomas - there is an unsubscribe link. That should work for you.
 
 
Kind regards

Hello,
I don't know if this message will
reach anyone. I seem to receive many messages from "visual-media" but I don't know who sends them. These messages are huge, with numerous other messages attached to them.
Anyway, there seems to be some interest in World War 1 lantern slides. I know that there are several UK collectors who have such slides. I also know that there were film cameramen who went to film in Belgium in the early days of WW1.
Please don't respond to this via this site. I have spent long hours trying to remove these huge messages from my inbox. I don't subscribe to "twitter" or "facebook".
I have great respect for T Weynants and others who seem to generate these emails, but I just don't understand how to deal with them.
If you want more information about lantern slides about WW1 I would suggest you join the Magic Lantern Society of UK or of USA/Canada. You can easily find these online.
 
Sincerely,
Stephen Bottomore

Hi Thomas,


I cannot add much more except the screen looks like a reel of film with 2 spools horizontal, one being full the other not. Also the artists name is clear and the date 1936. That could lead somewhere.

Hi Juliette,


Thanks, this sounds indeed as a most valid interpretation.

In fact, the images (there are some more) are coming from a variete theater, annex early cinema in Belgium.


I’m trying if I can find more specific information on them, they are nice hand painted designs on paper.

Perhaps I can find some more clues on old program leaflets, which I still need to find …


All best,


Thomas

Hi Thomas,


They look like designs for stage backcloths to me. The pencil sketch figure looks like he is listening to something and the centre image looks very like a stylized image on a film reel. I would say that it is a backcloth design for a variety review with a very modern style and is trying to make references to modern communications (hence the zig-zag "radio-waves" on the right the emphasis on news from all over the world and the inclusion of huge searchlights in the main design...

Dear list members,


Recently I found this image and I’m not sure how to interpret this correct. (see image attached)

Could this be the depicting of the life broadcast of an event? Radio or Television?


One see people dancing in the center below of the image.

On the right of the image one sees a pencil sketch (floating in mid air) depicting a man behind a receiver (or transmitter).

The only text in the image is a sign board which reads ‘Wereld News’. (World News).


The image comes from a set of ‘art deco’ decor sketches from a variete theater. (see another image, BAR, for comparison)


All best and thanks for all tips,



Thomas
