"Dit Prenttafreel vertoont, ô jeugd! om u te leeren / Veel vogels, naar hun aart, te kennen aan hun veêren," (This Picture Sheet shows, oh youth! to teach you / Many birds, according to their nature, to recognize by their feathers) is a 1715-1813 educational print created by the heirs of the widow Cornelis Stichter. It is a classic example of ornithological prints popular in the Netherlands during this period, featuring 36 detailed illustrations of different bird species. The intricate engravings and accompanying Dutch text are arranged in a grid format, making it both informative and aesthetically pleasing. The print is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum.
