This 19th-century broadside print by Dutch artist Johan Noman depicts a series of humorous scenes depicting the everyday life of the Dutch people. The image contains multiple frames filled with woodcuts and text depicting various events. The title translates to "Who wants to join me at the fair?" which points to the subject matter, likely a traditional carnival. The work displays a unique artistic style using simple, yet expressive lines and silhouettes, and emphasizes humor and satire. It's a fascinating glimpse into the culture and social life of 19th-century Netherlands, providing a rich context for studying daily life in that era.
