Ziet hier vertoond dier fabel-prenten vol van zinnen / Om het leerzame kind / al stichtende te vermaaken 1725 - 1780

This Dutch print from 1725 to 1780, titled "Ziet hier vertoond dier fabel-prenten vol van zinnen," depicts four illustrated fables featuring animals. Created by Johannes (II) Kannewet, this artwork is a fine example of woodcuts, with detailed depictions of animals like cats, rats, dogs, and chickens engaging in various activities. Each scene is presented within a framed panel, offering visual separation and enhancing the narrative impact of the fables. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates a common genre in 18th-century Dutch art: using animal fables to teach moral lessons and entertain children.
