"Komt gy kinderen / komt aanschoud / Hier is stof voor jonk en oud" is a 1725–1780 broadside by Johannes (II) Kannewet, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. It features a series of 16 woodcuts depicting scenes from the Bible. The visual style of the work is characteristic of 18th-century Dutch printmaking, with detailed, illustrative engravings and a focus on storytelling. The broadside was intended for a wide audience, as suggested by the title, which translates to "Come children / come look / Here is something for young and old." This work is a prime example of how visual art was used to educate and entertain audiences in the 18th century.
