| Summary | "Joris Komijn op de Tentoonstelling" by Justus van Maurik is a humorous sketch written during the late 19th century. The work follows Joris Komijn, a shopkeeper from Medemblik, on his visit to the Amsterdam Exhibition as he documents his experiences and observations in a travel diary format aimed at his family. The opening of the narrative introduces Joris as he embarks on his long-awaited trip to Amsterdam and details his mixed feelings about travel and the city’s bustling life. He describes his arrival with his son Klaas and a rather cheeky character named Nadaniël, noting his initial misfortunes, including losing his hat in the wind and accidentally dropping treats into the water. Joris humorously captures his astonishment at the sights and sounds of the exhibition and the various booths, exploring themes of family, cultural observations, and his struggle to grasp modernity in a rapidly changing society. Through his innocent yet critical perspective, the narrative sets the tone for a charming exploration of both the grand exhibition and the intricacies of societal interactions.
