This is a broadside, or a single-sheet printed advertisement, from the Netherlands, dating from 1864-1875. It is a "kermis-aardighheid" meaning a list of fairground attractions for girls. The piece features a humorous illustration of a fairground barker addressing a crowd of women, showcasing the variety of stalls and entertainment available at the fair. This broadside offers a glimpse into 19th-century Dutch popular culture, particularly the appeal of fairgrounds and their role in entertainment and social life.
