This 1796 broadside by Hermanus Numan is a kermisprint, a type of popular print that was sold at fairs in the Netherlands. It features a detailed depiction of the Amsterdam City Hall, a cart pulled by two horses and a cartman, a group of figures standing in the foreground and a detailed text below. The print was likely sold as a souvenir of the fair and could have been used for educational purposes. It is a valuable document of Dutch life in the 18th century.
