LX Daer de natuer heeft ramp, set het vernuft een klamp 1614

This is a wood-engraving, part of a series of prints by Roemer Visscher, called *Sinnepoppen*, which translates to *Witty Sayings*. The print *LX Daer de natuer heeft ramp, set het vernuft een klamp*, dates back to 1614 and displays a complex contraption, possibly used for driving piles into the ground, demonstrating the use of human ingenuity to overcome challenges. This print was made to accompany a witty saying, as many others in the series are, contributing to the development of the Dutch proverb, "Where nature has a disaster, human ingenuity provides a clamp".
