This 19th-century Dutch broadside, "Hier wordt u, o jeugd! gegeven, / Tetjeroen zijn kluchtig leven," (Here you are given, o youth! / Tetjeroen's merry life) by Lutkie & Cranenburg, depicts a humorous story of Tetjeroen's life through a series of 16 illustrated scenes, each accompanied by a caption in Dutch. This type of artwork, known as a "prentbrief" or "broadside," was a popular form of storytelling and entertainment in the 19th century. The bright colors and simple, cartoon-like illustrations would have appealed to a wide audience, including children and adults. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
