This 18th-century print by Erven Hendrik van der Putte depicts a scene of a man being gored by a bull, while a woman is suspended in the air. The intricate floral border, a common decorative element of the period, frames the central image. This "broadside" is a printed sheet of paper that was widely circulated and often featured sensational or topical events, making it a valuable glimpse into Dutch life during the 1700s. The print is a combination of woodcut and etching, and the use of color adds to the realism of the scene. "Dit wonder-werk zeer wel bekend" is a popular print that speaks to the fascination with the unusual in 18th-century Dutch society.
