This is a text page (or "tekstblad" in Dutch) by Jan van den Bergh, dating back to 1743, that accompanies the artwork "Apollo's kermis-gift, deel 1" It serves as a visual guide to the piece, explaining the narrative and themes, likely written in Dutch. The piece seems to address the celebration of Apollo, the Greek god of music and poetry, by young people in s'Gravenhagen. The text also mentions Bacchus, the god of wine and revelry, suggesting a joyous and festive atmosphere. The small size of this printed document, measuring just 154 mm by 95 mm, might indicate it was intended for personal use or to be distributed alongside the artwork.
