Floskaartjes 1789 - 1804

"Floskaartjes" is a black and white woodcut print created by Jan (II) Termeulen between 1789 and 1804. The artwork depicts a grid of 36 individual illustrations of figures representing various professions and social classes. The figures are depicted in simple, yet detailed, outline style and are arranged in a grid pattern with a number and title beneath each one. This work demonstrates the popularity of "floskaartjes" (Dutch for "flower cards") during this period, which were often used as a form of entertainment and educational tool. This artwork is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of Termeulen's woodcut prints, and offers a glimpse into the lives and occupations of the people of Amsterdam during this era.
