Rondreizende liedverkoper 1829

This hand-colored etching from 1829 by an anonymous artist depicts a caricature of a street vendor. The vendor is shown as a large, distorted figure, with an exaggerated mouth and a comically oversized cloak. The text below reads "I do be a Butterfly," highlighting the vendor's profession and the humorous tone of the artwork. This piece exemplifies the 19th-century trend of using caricature to satirize social and cultural aspects of everyday life. The work's small size suggests it was likely intended for personal or private collection.
