't Zijn alle geen boeven die men zoo noemt / Die ter galije zijn gedoemt is a 1748-1761 woodcut print by Abraham van der Putte. The print depicts a galley, a type of ship with oars, used in the Mediterranean from antiquity to the 18th century. Galley ships were often associated with criminals or slaves forced to row, hence the inscription of the print. The print, in the Rijksmuseum, highlights the intricacies of maritime history and the power of graphic art to convey social commentary.
