Figuren, beroepen en bezigheden 1822 - 1849

This Dutch broadside, "Figuren, beroepen en bezigheden" (Figures, Professions and Activities), created by I.I. de Lanier between 1822 and 1849, features a series of nine vignettes depicting rural life. Each scene is accompanied by a short, rhyming verse in Dutch, describing the depicted activities. The broadside, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, utilizes a simple, colorful woodcut style to portray daily routines of the Dutch people, offering a glimpse into the social and economic life of the time.
