"De Vogeltjes die Gy hier ziet, / ô lieve kindren! zingen niet, / Zy zyn ook man en dras te vangen, / Gy hoefd ze in geen kooi te hangen," is an educational print by Jacobus Thompson, produced between 1791-1812. It displays 24 small squares, each showing different types of birds perched on branches, accompanied by their names in Dutch, and poetic descriptions. The piece, housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a delightful example of early 19th-century Dutch printmaking, illustrating both the avian diversity and a moral message about respecting nature.
