EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back in time to the early 20th century, where the enchanting world of the Kermis Fair comes alive. The showman, dressed in a colorful suit and deck paint, gestures towards nine prints on the stage, inviting the audience to marvel at the wonders to come. In the foreground, an elderly woman with a serene expression plays the harp, her fingers gracefully plucking the strings, creating a mesmerizing melody that drifts through the air. On the right, a young boy, his eyes wide with wonder, holds a bunch of balloons. This scene, reminiscent of the Low Countries' rich cultural heritage, is a testament to the enduring charm of traditional European fairs. The artist, unknown to us, masterfully captures the essence of the moment, using a combination of ink, pencil, watercolor, and watercolor paint. The audience, a mix of men, women, and children, watches intently, their faces filled with anticipation and delight. This itinerant performance, a traveling show that crisscrossed the streets of Germany, the Netherlands, and other European countries, is a poignant reminder of the simple joys of life. The harpist, the showman, and the boy with the balloons all come together in this beautiful tableau, a snapshot of a bygone era that continues to captivate our imaginations.
