Ziet in dit prentgestel verscheiden schetsen pronken, / Zy worden u, ô jeugd! geschonken, / Die leerzaam en vermaaklyk zyn; / Tot tydverdryf: Maar schei het weezen van den schyn 1715 - 1813

This 18th-century Dutch print titled "Ziet in dit prentgestel verscheiden schetsen pronken" by the erven weduwe Cornelis Stichter features 12 vignettes depicting humorous scenes of daily life. The scenes are accompanied by Dutch verses that provide a moral or witty commentary. The artwork is a prime example of the 18th-century Dutch tradition of "prentjesboeken," illustrated books that combined educational value with entertainment. These prints were widely popular throughout the Netherlands and offered a glimpse into the social and cultural norms of the period. This print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a testament to the rich history of Dutch printmaking and its influence on popular culture.
