Dutchmen at a Meal
anoniem, 1790 - 1810
This print was intended for the tourist market in Nagasaki and illustrates the eating habits of the Dutch on Deshima. Two enslaved men are serving the diners at table, one approaching with a bowl of food, the other pouring gin from a glass bottle. Loosely translated, the text reads ‘This print is a faithful depiction of Dutchmen.’
