This 1806 broadside, titled "Hier hebt gij agtien fraije prentjes, / Ziet lieve kinderen deze ventjes (...)" by Jan Hendriksen, is a series of 18 small woodcuts. Each image depicts a scene of Dutch life, highlighting traditional activities like fishing and farming. The artist utilized simple lines and minimal details, making the images easily comprehensible for a young audience. The woodcuts are arranged in a grid format with accompanying Dutch text, forming a visual storybook for children. The "ventjes" (boys) featured in the prentjes (pictures) likely aim to entertain and educate young viewers about the everyday lives of people in their community.
