Liedje van den kleinen Sebastiaan 1850 - 1881

"Liedje van den kleinen Sebastiaan" is a black and white wood engraving created between 1850 and 1881 by the Dutch artist Dirk Noothoven van Goor. The artwork depicts four scenes from a Dutch kermis, a festive traveling fair, including street vendors, children, and rides. The small size of the image and the simple lines suggest that the print was intended for a children's magazine, which is supported by the inclusion of a song in the caption. The image is a detailed and lively glimpse into Dutch culture in the 19th century. This engraving captures the hustle and bustle of a traditional kermis, a beloved Dutch folk tradition.
