Beroepen 1822 - 1849

"Beroepen" (Occupations), a woodcut print by I.I. de Lanier created between 1822 and 1849, depicts a series of eight scenes illustrating various occupations in Amsterdam. The detailed engravings, crafted in a realistic style, offer a glimpse into the working lives of people in the 19th century. Each scene is accompanied by a short Dutch verse, describing the tasks and challenges associated with each profession. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides valuable insights into the social and economic landscape of Amsterdam during this period.
