Published in Rotterdam by J. Immerzeel Jr. in 1818. A very rare series of lively costume prints from all walks of life. The series was drawn in the second half of the 18th century by the artists Jacobus Perkois (1756-1804) and Johannes Huibert Prins (1757-1806) . The prints were then artfully engraved in etching and aquatint by the well-known artist Mathias de Sallieth (1749-1791) . What is special about this series is that it concerns all ordinary citizens from Middelburg and the surrounding area, where Perkois and Sallieth were working when they made this series. Both the drawing and the prints were made in the 18th century. However, the series was only printed - posthumously - in 1818 and published by Immerzeel in Rotterdam. Here in the rare first edition. The prints are bound in the printer's original cover. The prints are in good condition. Nice and sharp prints on paper with wide margins and uncut edges.
