Kermisprent van de Amsterdamse straatveegsters, ca. 1855-1860 1855 - 1860

This anonymous print from the mid-19th century depicts a scene of street sweepers in Amsterdam, likely during the Kermis, or annual fair. The print is a broadside, with the visual scene surrounded by a text praising the hard work and dedication of the city's street sweepers. The print is a valuable glimpse into daily life and the working class in mid-19th century Amsterdam, offering an interesting contrast to the idealized portraits of life in the city at the time.
