Zie hier hoe deez' paarde-rijders springen, / En zich in duizend bogten wringen, / Zoo wagen zij hun leven wel, / Maar leven toch van 't hachlijk spel 1814 - 1848

This 19th-century print by I.I. de Lanier, titled "Zie hier hoe deez' paarde-rijders springen," illustrates the daring feats of equestrian performers. The 12 vignettes depict the riders in various poses, from standing on their heads to jumping through hoops, highlighting the acrobatic skills and risks involved in this form of entertainment. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century circus life and the thrill of spectacle that captivated audiences.
