This Dutch broadside print titled *Knappe jongens groot en klein!* (Handsome boys big and small!) by M. Hemeleers-van Houter is a series of eight vignettes, each depicting a young boy engaged in different trades and accompanied by a rhyming verse describing the work. Printed in the 19th century, it exemplifies a common genre of the time, showcasing the skills and importance of various occupations for a young audience. The woodcuts are vibrant with bold outlines, giving the images a clear and straightforward feel. This print would have served as a popular educational tool for children, providing a glimpse into the world of work in the Netherlands.
