Hier wordt door Jacob Cats, o jeugd! u voorschreven, Al de verandering in 's menschen gantsche leven 1810

This 1810 woodcut by Jan Hendriksen, titled "Hier wordt door Jacob Cats, o jeugd! u voorschreven, Al de verandering in 's menschen gantsche leven," depicts a series of 24 scenes illustrating the phases of life. Each scene is accompanied by a short inscription in Dutch, likely from the works of Dutch poet Jacob Cats, highlighting the themes of change and the cycle of life. The use of woodcut printing, with its distinctive black and white lines, was popular in the 18th and 19th centuries for its affordability and ability to create detailed images.
