Hier ziet gy vissen / vogels en zee-monsters fijn / Tot uw vermaak en pleyzier zo groot als klijn / 1725 - 1780

This woodcut print by Johannes (II) Kannewet from 1725-1780, titled "Hier ziet gy vissen / vogels en zee-monsters fijn / Tot uw vermaak en pleyzier zo groot als klijn /" (Here you see fish / birds and sea monsters fine / For your amusement and pleasure as great as small /), features a grid of 16 vignettes showcasing various marine creatures, birds, and mythical beasts. The print is characterized by its simple, yet detailed depictions, employing a limited color palette primarily of browns and oranges. It was likely intended for a popular audience, providing them with a glimpse into the wonders of the natural world and the fantastical realm of mythology. The artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is an excellent example of the Dutch tradition of illustrative prints, offering both visual interest and educational value.
