This 1816-1849 Dutch broadside, titled "Wel kinderen! wat zoudt gij nu meer wenschen? / Deez' Beesten lijkenen hier wel Menschen," features 12 animal-human hybrids. Created by J.J. Bollemij, this work was intended for a general audience, particularly children, as the title suggests. Each hybrid, like a peacock with a human face or a bull with a human head, is depicted in a humorous manner, prompting viewers to ponder the absurdity of these creatures. The artwork showcases the Dutch tradition of satirical and whimsical prints that were often used for educational purposes. The print can be found in the Rijksmuseum.
