This is a satirical print by W. van Bergen, created between 1818 and 1828 and titled "In deze print ô jonge lien / Kunt gy veel bezigheden zien; / 't zal onze vlyt geduurig wekken, / Zoo 't uw tot waar vermaak kan strekken." The print depicts eight scenes of Dutch street life in the early 19th century. Each scene features a different figure engaging in a particular activity, such as selling goods, performing a service, or simply strolling through the streets. The print was likely intended to be humorous and entertaining, and its detailed illustrations provide valuable insights into the daily lives of ordinary Dutch citizens during this period. It currently resides at the Rijksmuseum.
