Zie hier een schets &o jeugd! der schoone zeevaardij / En hoe in ´t rustloos woên uer hobbelende baren, / Tot eer van 't vaderland en 't nut der maatschappij, / De zeeliên, vol van moed, het schuimend zout bevaaren 1791 - 1812

This 1791-1812 broadside by Jacobus Thompson depicts a series of illustrations of ships and sailors in the Dutch language, focusing on the seafaring life. The intricate line drawings showcase the beauty of sailing vessels against the backdrop of the sea, illustrating the challenges and triumphs of voyages. The illustrations are accompanied by text, which likely narrates the different scenes. "Zie hier een schets &o jeugd! der schoone zeevaardij" is a visual testament to the Dutch maritime tradition, now preserved in the Rijksmuseum collection.
