Getting started with the collection:
A Young Man with a Peepshow and a Dog
Cornelis Dusart, 1670 - 1704
The boy is holding a peepshow, a picture in a box with doors that open. He is pointing to the scene portrayed in the box and singing or telling the story. Artisans like this boy would travel to fairs and markets to entertain the punters with their sensational, and often quite gruesome tales.
