This 19th-century print by Alexander Cranendoncq, titled "De deugden op deez'prent vermeld, maakt dat gij die betracht; / Maar d' ondeugd die gij er ook ziet, zorgt dat g'u daar voor wacht" (The virtues mentioned on this print, make sure that you embrace them; but the vice that you also see there, take care that you guard yourself against it), features 24 individual illustrations depicting various moral lessons. The scenes are presented in a grid format, each framed by a thin black border and accompanied by a short caption in Dutch, which presumably elaborates on the virtue or vice depicted. The use of vibrant colors, particularly the yellow and blue tones, creates a striking visual effect, reflecting the didactic purpose of this print. This artwork is held in the Rijksmuseum and demonstrates the importance of visual communication in 19th-century educational practices.
