"Verscheidenheid van zaken, / Kan meest de jeugd vermaken / Les désirs de l'enfance, / Sont pour la différence" is a 19th-century print by Glenisson & Van Genechten. This Dutch and French language work is an example of a "child's picture book" or "toy book," genres that became popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. The images are presented in a series of squares and tell a story through the use of illustrations and text in both languages. The colorful woodcuts depict scenes of everyday life, including games, work, and social interactions. The piece is notable for its charming, simple style and ability to communicate across language barriers.
