Flevopenning door / medal by:

Corine Ton-Rekers

the Flevopenning 2010, by Corine Ton Rekers shows on one side the coat of arms of Flevoland, that depicts a Sea-lion or Morse assurgeant, a mythical and heraldic creature, with the head and body of a lion and a fish tail, raising out of the sea, holding an heraldic lily in it's paw, the lily (in Dutch: lelie) refers to Ir. Cornelis Lely (1854-1929) a politician and civil engineer who's plan De Zuiderzeewerken was passed by the Dutch parliament in 1918, making the start of the Zuiderzee Works of reclaiming land from the sea, starting with the construction of the Afsluitdijk, followed by the creation of the new polders in the former Zuiderzee, now a lake, the IJsselmeer, two new polders - Flevopolder and Noordoostpolder - form the province Flevoland

The Kiekendief - Marsh Harrier became symbol of the new Dutch province Flevoland in 1986. When southern Flevoland was uncovered / impoldered in 1968, reed had been sown on a large scale in order to dry out and harden the former seabed. Vast reedfields and the lack of development caused the return of the Marsh Harrier, which lives off frogs and young waterbirds. The Harrier, once threatened with extinction, has spread all over Europe since.

Oranje Boven, 6 september 1898 - 1923,

Wilhelmina 25 jaar Koningin, door J.C. Wienecke

1918 medal by J.C. Wienecke,

with Princess Juliana as The Dutch Virgin

 

a bronze, Dutch contrarevolutionary medal, issued in 1918,

with William I - William of Orange, or William the Silent, the ancestor of the Dutch monarchy, Father of the Fatherland, and Princess Juliana van Oranje Nassau, the, at that moment future queen, depicted as The Dutch Virgin wearing a helmet with ostrich feathers, symbol of the State of The Netherlands. Dutch monarchs of past and future.

een bronzen penning uitgegeven ter gelegenheid van betogingen tegen de socialitische revolutie in Nederland, in november 1918, die door Pieter Jelles Troelstra (1860-1930) werd geinitieerd, met het borstbeeld van Willem van Oranje (1533-1584), De Vader des Vaderlands en Prinses Juliana (1909-2004) hier door de kunstenaar voorgesteld als de Nederlandse Maagd met de door struisveren gesierde helm

text:

't was Oranje, 't is Oranje, 't blijft Oranje boven

Den Vaderlant Ghetrouwe Blijf Ick Tot In Den Doot

designed by: Johannes Cornelis Wienecke (Dutch, 1872-1945)

diameter: 60mm

code: nr.700

contrarevolutionaire penning 1918, met

Willem van Oranje door J.C. Wienecke

 

op de hierboven afgebeelde penning uit 1918, met de tekst:

't was Oranje, 't is Oranje, 't blijft Oranje boven - Den Vaderlant Ghetrouwe Blijf Ick Tot In Den Doot,

zien we onmiskenbaar Willem van Oranje. De andere zijde wordt elders omschreven als: Juliana met een door struisveren gesierde helm. Er is een foto bekend van Juliana met een hoed versierd met struisveren, gedateerd 1914. Ter gelegenheid van de geboorte van Prinses Juliana in 1909 heeft J.C. Wienecke een penning ontworpen, met als omschrijving: Nederlandse maagd houdt baby in haar armen. Wienecke lijkt op de penning van 1918 beide gegevens te hebben gebruikt en lijkt Juliana te tonen als De Nederlandse Maagd met helm getooid met struisveren. In de 16de en 17de eeuw waren struisveren in de mode, daarvoor waren witte pauwenveren een statussymbool, voortkomend uit de pluimages van toernooihelmen. De Hertog Willem van Gelre / Haertoghe van Ghelre droeg witte / zilveren pauwenveren op zijn helm rond 1490, dit is te vinden in het Wapenboek Nassau-Vianden, welke zeer waarschijnlijk in opdracht van familie van Willem van Oranje is gemaakt, en mogelijk in zijn bezit is geweest. Is het wel Juliana, in 1918 slechts 9 jaar oud, maar wel de toekomstige koningin? Waarom heeft Wienecke niet de regerend vorst, Wilhelmina, afgebeeld? Heeft hij verleden en toekomst willen verbeelden? Deze penning wordt veelal als gewoontjes beoordeeld, maar er is een groter verhaal te vertellen, van toernooiridders, wapenboeken, heraldiek, nationale symbolen, prinsen, koningen, de Oranje familie, oorlogen, opstanden, republiek, monarchie, revolutionairen en contrarevolutionairen.

Verhalen vertellen. Dat is wat goede penningen doen. En je houdt het gewoon in je hand en je voelt en je luistert.

Piet Esser, Else Mauhs medal

 

Alwine Julie Else Mauhs (1885-1959) in haar rol als Jacqueline Fleuriot

in het stuk De Onbekende Vrouw / Madame X / La Femme X, van Alexandre Bisson

penning 1956, Else Mauhs, door Piet Esser

 

art medal / bronzen penning Else Mauhs, 1955 of 1956, door Piet Esser / Vincent Pieter Semeyn Esser (1914-2004)

Ze sloot alleen haar ogen, het leek of ze bad

Al tijdens haar leven was Else Mauhs een legende. En niet alleen omdat ze 'haktrices' en 'acteuses' als Ank van der Moer, Ellen Vogel, Magda Janssens en Fie Carelsen jarenlang in onzekerheid liet aan wie ze de Theo Mann-Bouwmeesterring, het kleinood dat zij van Theo Mann - Bouwmeester zelf in 1934 ontving, en in de toneelwereld zo fel wordt begeerd, zou doorgeven. Toen ze zich in september 1954, na een afwezigheid van vijftien jaar, nog eenmaal op het toneel van de Amsterdamse Stadsschouwburg liet zien, was alleen haar verschijning al voldoende om een verwend publiek in vervoering te brengen. Jaap Harten, jarenlang met Else Mauhs bevriend, noteerde: "Ik zag een broos vrouwtje de planken op komen en voelde mijn hart in mijn keel kloppen. Toen ze twee stappen naar voren deed begon het gebouw plotseling te trillen: een weergaloos applaus hield minuten aan. Else stond roerloos, ze sloot alleen haar ogen, het leek of ze bad… Toen het stil werd klonk dat melodische zoemen, zachter dan vroeger, in de ruimte: een trotse oude bijenkoningin met kanten vleugels zweeft voor het laatst rond en neemt afscheid van haar onderdanen…"

Alwine Julie Else Mauhs (1885-1959),

de penning refereert aan Else Mauhs 70 jaar, het ontwerp zou daarom te dateren zijn als uit 1955.

tekst voorzijde: Else Mauhs. Aet Suae LXX (oud zijnde 70) - tekst keerzijde: Eline Vere, Ophelia, Nju, Nora, Camelia, L 'Aiglon, Macropoulos, Elisabeth (toneelrollen die zij heeft gespeeld)

gegoten brons, diameter: 81mm, monogram zichtbaar onder de nek, prijs: € 690,-

provenance: prive collectie Jacobus Cornelis / Jaap Harten (1930-2017) en Oskar Lens (1930-2017), Den Haag

Jaap Harten werd op 22 september 1930 in Blaricum geboren. Hij debuteerde in 1954 met de bundel Studio in daglicht. Tot het schrijven hiervan werd hij geinspireerd door actrice en theaterlegende Else Mauhs, bij wie hij toneellessen volgde. In 1984 eerde hij de toneelspeelster met een persoonlijke, biografische roman "Else Mauhs, de ontvoering van een legende". Net als in zijn beroemdste boek "De getatoeëerde Lorelei" (1968) vermengt hij in Else Mauhs feit en fictie, documentaire en roman.

Else Maush heeft les gehad van Cateau / Catharine Esser (1858-1923) die cursussen gaf voor toonvorming op de School voor Vocale en Dramatische Kunst in Amsterdam. Else Maush is gehuwd geweest met Max Poons (1877-1971) Else Maush heeft gespeeld bij o.a. het Rotterdamsch Tooneel en Het Hofstad Tooneel. Delta 98 Den Haag heeft ook een penning en ander memoranda gehad van de acteur Sylvain Poons (1896-1985)

notities:

1. op de penning staat als een rol NJV, dit is voor Nju, een toneelstuk door Ossip Dymow (geb. Yosef Perelman, 1878-1959) De Engelse titel luidt veelal "Nju. An Everyday Tragedy". De titel werd vertaald als Njoe, of zelfs als De Echtgenoot (terwijl Nju de vrouw was)

2. Na Theo Mann-Bouwmeester droegen Else Mauhs (1934), Caro van Eyck (1959), Annet Nieuwenhuijzen (1980), Anne-Wil Blankers (1994) en Ariane Schluter (2010) het sieraad, in 2017 heeft de actrice Halina Reijn de Theo Mann-Bouwmeesterring ontvangen.

In the early 1950's Geurt Brinkgreve started with an important quest against the destruction of the old innercity of Amsterdam, he protested against the all daring, lightheaded politicians and real estate developpers. About him was said: He speaks with his hart, not with his common sense. His devotions to this subject has resulted into an annual Dutch award: the Geurt Brinkgreve Bokaal, it is an annual award of the Municipality of Amsterdam for the best initiative on area of redevelopment or renovation in the existing (residential) property stock. Furtermore, the award is explicit meant for a (residential) building that - after the development - has an important role on the vitality of the neighbourhood: a building that has been given back to the city and their inhabitants. The award is a tribute to Geurt Brinkgreve (1917-2005), who - against the ideas of that era - fifty years ago already plead for maintainance and recovery of the historical inner city of Amsterdam.

De jury vond zijn ontwerp het beste van de 21 inzendingen en roemde de brede plastische behandeling. Het werd bekroond met de eerste prijs en in zilver gegoten....

Gerrit van der Veen (26 November 1902, Amsterdam - 10 June 1944, Overveen) was a Dutch sculptor. He was a member of the Dutch underground, which resisted the German occupation of Amsterdam during World War II. He was one of the most active resistance fighters and was regularly involved with sabotage and burglaries during the occupation. On 10 February 1943 he starts a fire in the Regional Employment Board. On 27 March 1943 together with Arondéus, he does the same at the Population Register. They are all betrayed and hereafter, Van der Veen is permanently on the run. With three others, including Gerhard Badrian, he robs the Landsdrukkerij (the state printer) in The Hague. They are able to obtain approximately 10,000 blank identity cards. The last action from Van der Veen is an attempted escape of prisoners from the detention centre in Amsterdam. This plan fails. Van der Veen is shot twice in his back and becomes paralyzed. He manages to get to his hiding place, but is arrested on 12 May 1944. Other robbers are caught as well. They, along with Van der Veen are sentenced to death on 10 June 1944. On the same day, they are executed at the dunes near Overveen. In 1945 his remains were reburied at Erebegraafplaats Bloemendaal. On 9 March 2002 van der Veen was made Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem.

Hildo Krop - Hildebrand Lucien Krop (1884-1970) was a prolific Dutch sculptor and furniture designer. Krop is primarily known for his sculptures and contribution to public spaces in Amsterdam, but in addition he also worked for the ceramics producer ESKAF, the well-known glassfactory in Leerdam, and he also made diverse designs for furniture, forgings and book bindings for various publishing houses.
