"Kinders hier ziet gy aardig af-geprent / Duyfken en Willemeynkes leven exelent" is a 18th-century broadside print by Johannes (II) Kannewet that tells a story in a series of woodcuts. The print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a sequence of 16 scenes illustrating the lives of two characters, Duyfken and Willemeynke, depicting their daily activities and their eventual misfortunes. The narrative and the illustrations are simple and straightforward, potentially targeting a working-class audience, similar to modern day comic books.
