This print by D. Lijsen, titled “Hier vinde gij een negental van dieren, groot en klein / die, uitgezondert èèn, voor. 't menschdom nuttig zyn,” (Here you find a nine of animals, large and small / that, except one, are useful for mankind), dates from 1836-1849. The print depicts nine animals and their internal organs, and is likely meant to be a didactic visual aid or a children's book illustration, as the animals are labelled in Dutch with descriptive rhymes. The artist utilizes a simple printmaking technique and muted colors to create a clean and readable image.
