This Dutch 19th-century broadside, titled "O kind'ren ziet deez' fraaije prent," by Glenisson & Zonen, is a charming example of a "prentenboek" (picture book) from the period. It features a series of 10 illustrated squares accompanied by short rhyming texts in Dutch. The lively scenes depict everyday activities and folklore, showcasing the Dutch society of the time through whimsical and colorful woodcut illustrations. The illustrations are simplistic yet visually appealing, conveying a sense of naive charm. This broadside would have been a popular form of entertainment and education for children and adults alike.
