This 19th-century wood engraving by Glenisson & Van Genechten, titled "Beschouw hier op dees prent van allerleye standen n. 88.", depicts various trades and professions, arranged in alphabetical order. The print, which measures 398 mm in height and 320 mm in width, highlights the importance of each individual's contribution to society. The Dutch text below each scene describes the worker's trade and reinforces the idea that all professions are valuable. This artwork is a classic example of didactic art, aimed at educating the general public.
