Opgezet 'Wonderkalf' met dubbelkop en een opgezette zeehond tentoongesteld op de kermis op de Nieuwmarkt, Amsterdam, Ed van der Elsken, 1960 - 1969

The image depicts a black and white photograph with Dutch text on an easel, displaying two animals. On the left is a cow standing with its head turned towards something out of frame; it has distinctive black patches over its eyes resembling eyebrows or eyelashes, adding to its human-like expression. To the right lies a seal pup in repose beside another sign that reads "Wonderkalf" and describes what appears as an abnormal condition, referencing 'dubbelkop' which means double horned. The background is dark with no discernible details beyond this setting. This photograph captures elements of surprise or curiosity, possibly hinting at the juxtaposition between domesticated livestock and marine life in a humanized context within a fairground exhibition space as suggested by the reference to Nieuwmarkt, Amsterdam.
