This 19th-century print by J.A. Aldag, titled “Zie op deze Print, & lieve Jeugd, / Een kleine schets van Kermis vreugd.” (See this print, dear youth, / A small sketch of the fairground joy), depicts scenes from a bustling fairground. The work features 16 individual vignettes with accompanying text in both Dutch and French, likely aimed at a young audience. Through its playful scenes, this artwork captures the spirit of fairgrounds and the joy of amusement activities, making it a charming window into Dutch culture of the 19th century.
