About this work
On a square, the public watches a fire eater on a podium. He has a burning coal on his tongue, with which a mixture of melted pitch, sulfur, and wax is ignited using a bellows in his mouth. Then he blows the flames out of his mouth. Subject categories within the Atlas Zeden en Gewoonten: Trade, Industry and Traffic, Profession and Business, Complete suites.
