Voor kindren die het exerceeren / Uit deeze afbeeldsels willen leeren, / Vertoont zich, in dit prent-tafreel, / Het manuaal in zyn geheel 1806 - 1830

Johan Noman created this print, titled "For children who want to learn the exercise / From these images / The manual is shown in its entirety in this picture panel," using an unspecified technique. This print offers a glimpse into the militaristic education of children. Notice the grid-like arrangement of figures demonstrating a sequence of military exercises. This instructional format reflects the societal emphasis on discipline, order, and the preparation of young boys for potential military service. Consider how this imagery might normalize violence and instill a sense of duty towards the state from a young age. The inscription suggests that these images are specifically designed for children, indicating a deliberate effort to shape their perceptions and values. How might such early exposure to military culture affect a child's understanding of conflict and identity? This print serves as a reminder of the complex ways in which power structures influence the socialization of youth and the perpetuation of cultural norms.
