Antique print titled ‘Plate IV ‘De Beugelbaan – Le Jeu de Passe.’ This plate shows a 19th century scene in Noord-Brabant, The Netherlands. Men are playing the Dutch game ‘beugelen’. This original antique print was published in 1857 by Frans Buffa & Zonen Amsterdam as part of the publication ‘Nederlandsche Kleederdrachten naar de natuur’ (Dutch folk costume, illustrated using real-life models) by Valentyn Bing. ‘Beugelen’ is a popular sport in which a heavy sphere is moved with a wooden shovel or sledge. The object is to roll the orb through the ring in the center of the track. This sport is practiced in Belgian and Dutch Limburg and North Brabant (Netherlands). It is one of the oldest ball sports in the Netherlands. See less
