This 1865 woodcut by Dirk Wijbrand Tollenaar, titled "Kermisprent van de Amsterdamse askarrenmannen voor het jaar 1865," depicts a scene of the Amsterdam As Carriage Festival. The image, now in the Rijksmuseum, shows a street scene with figures and carriages. The artist's use of line and shading creates a realistic portrayal of the festival, capturing the energy and lively atmosphere of the event.
