This 18th-century print, created by the erven weduwe Cornelis Stichter, showcases a series of vignettes depicting people and plants from various regions. Titled "ô jeugd! beschouw hier, met verstand, / Uitheemsche lien, gewas en plant; / Dus moogt ge uw oog en geest vermaaken / Met deeze u voorgestelde zaaken," this educational print, likely intended for a young audience, highlights the diverse flora and fauna of the world through detailed engravings. The print exemplifies the growing interest in natural history and global exploration during the Enlightenment period, as well as the Dutch artistic tradition of detailed illustration.
