This 19th-century print, created by Dutch artist Johan Noman, is a satirical depiction of various occupations and social scenes. Enclosed in individual frames, each vignette is accompanied by a rhyming caption in Dutch, making the work both visually engaging and linguistically playful. The piece is a testament to the popularity of illustrated broadsheets during this era, which served as a form of visual storytelling and social commentary, reaching a wide audience. "Al 't geen ge, ô kinderen! beschouwt in deeze prent / Maakt u het onderschrift op elks bedryf bekend," meaning "All that you see, O children! Observe in this print / Make the caption of each trade known," encourages viewers to engage with the artwork.
