This 19th-century Dutch broadside, titled "Wilt gij de rarekiek eens zien, / Komt hier dan, oude en jonge lien. / De man is klaar, de pret begint, / In deze rarekiekenprint," is an example of a humorous print, or "rarekiekenprint," popular in the Netherlands in the 1800s. The print tells a story through a series of small illustrations and accompanying verses, likely satirizing social customs and popular figures of the day. The work is by P.C.L. van Staden & Co., a Dutch publisher known for these entertaining prints, and is now held in the Rijksmuseum.
