Photography was his hobby, because Olie was actually a carpenter, and later a drawing teacher and director of the first Dutch vocational school. He probably took his first photos in the summer of 1861, with a self-built camera. In that early period he also made this self-portrait with hat, pipe and walking stick, behind a chair with his little dog, against a plain background of three white screens. In the first years Jacob Olie could not yet photograph very far from home. He then made his photos using the so-called wet collodion process. That involved placing a wet glass plate in the camera, which he had to develop immediately after the exposure in his darkroom. Hence Olie made many portraits of himself and his family at that time, and photos of his own neighborhood, the Western Islands. Around 1870 Jacob Olie stopped photographing. But when he retired in 1890, he took up his old hobby again. He used the same camera, but with a new lens. Olie now made his exposures with dry gelatin plates. Those did not need to be developed immediately, so he could photograph anywhere in the city and the surroundings. In fifteen years Jacob Olie then made more than three thousand photos of the rapidly changing Amsterdam.","brand":"Bekking \u0026 Blitz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54133877309785,"sku":"KA27950","price":24.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0878\/0074\/2233\/files\/bekking-blitz-amsterdam-rond-1900-kalender-2027-jacob-olie-75248628138329.jpg?v=1786475124","url":"https:\/\/www.kalenderwinkel.nl\/en\/products\/amsterdam-around-1900-calendar-2027-jacob-olie","provider":"Kalenderwinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
