Kermisprent van de Amsterdamse karrenman voor het jaar 1802 1802

This 1802 engraving by J. Brand, titled "Kermisprent van de Amsterdamse karrenman voor het jaar 1802," depicts a lively scene of Amsterdam's "Kermis," a traditional fair. The print is a "kermis-wensche," a type of advertisement often printed on broadsides in the early 19th century in the Netherlands, promoting a particular product or service. Here, the cartman J. Winkel promotes his services with a playful, rhyming text. The image, in typical Dutch style, shows the cartman with his horse and cart, as well as figures interacting in the busy Amsterdam streets, making this a valuable source of information on everyday life in Amsterdam in the early 19th century.
