Huishoudelijke bezigheden 1822 - 1849

"Huishoudelijke bezigheden" (Household Activities), a hand-colored broadside from 1822–1849, depicts nine scenes of women engaged in daily domestic tasks, such as washing clothes, cooking, tending a plant, and sewing. Created by Mindermann & Co., this print highlights the traditional roles assigned to women in 19th-century society. The playful and didactic nature of the images, along with the accompanying Dutch verses, makes this broadside a fascinating glimpse into the lives of women during this period. "Huishoudelijke bezigheden" is a prime example of the genre of 'broadside' - popular 19th-century prints that were designed to be displayed in homes.
