This satirical print by Jacobus Thompson, titled *Al wat men op deez' prent beziet, / Is apery en anders niet; / Vermaak 'er u dan mede, jeugd! / En knipt de aapjes uit, met vreugd,* (1791-1812) features 24 circular vignettes depicting humorous scenes of apes in human situations. The artwork, part of a larger series, was likely intended for children, encouraging them to cut out the individual images and play with them. It's an example of the "Apery" genre, which employed depictions of apes to satirize human behavior. The Rijksmuseum houses this unique print, showcasing the rich history of Dutch art.
