Schoonmaken van huis aan de Amsterdamse Spiegelgracht / Cleaning a house on the Spiegelgracht canal in Amsterdam

from Nationaal Archief

• Rakesh Jagtiani said:

  Really peaceful....no traffic or throngs of pedestrians. Really feel frozen in that moment of time.

• Paul said:

  En dan ziet het er weer uit als een spiegeltje.

• Photoman106 said:

  The Spiegelgracht isn't that long. There could never have been a house with number 287....

• Maarten Tromp said:

  Must be Lijnbaansgracht 287; see a.o. picture nr 010122018289 in the Beeldbank of the Stadsarchief Amsterdam.

• Photoman106 said:

  Barmsijs, you are right. It's not Spiegelgracght; the front of the house is similar to Lijnbaansgracht 287.

Padvinders maken schoon / Girl guides doing a cleaning job

from Nationaal Archief

  English-speakers may not understand the word 'girlguides' :-) It's girl scouts. Also, the slogan 'Heitje voor een karweitje', meaning 'a quarter for a job (done)', makes me wonder if people did actually pay these girls a quarter... or more :-)

• Standel said:

  Girl Guides is OK in England - that's the official term here - see: www.girlguiding.org.uk/ (In my days in the Boy Scouts, there was "Bob-a-Job" Week - bob meaning one shilling, suggested payment for each job done. Don't know what inflation has done to that...)

• tinamathis said:

  Sorry, I didn't know that term. I stand corrected :-) Thanks for letting me (everyone) know. However, as far as the quarter (of a guilder) is concerned... yes, there was a time when it was worth a lot more, and probably when the slogan originated; but at the time that this picture was taken, I know -- I grew up there and was a teen-ager then -- that you couldn't get much for that anymore.
