"Vertoont u kindren deze print, / Hoe elk zijn kost op aarde wint: / Zoo mag men bij zijn pligtbetrachten, / Daarop, den zegen Gods, verwachten," created by Erve Wijsmuller, is an 18th-century Dutch broadside with 24 images depicting various occupations, such as farming, fishing, and carpentry. This instructional print, now located in the Rijksmuseum, teaches children about the importance of hard work and the rewards of honest labor. Each image is accompanied by a rhyming couplet, emphasizing the value of diligence and its connection to God's blessing. This visual and poetic combination makes it a unique example of Dutch folk art and a testament to the importance of work ethic during this period.
