"Alderley, sooyt van ambagten ziet gy hier / Elk bezonder toond zyn konsten na de zwier" is a Dutch broadside from the late 17th or early 18th century by Johannes (II) Kannewet. The artwork depicts 30 different trades and professions in a grid of small squares. Each scene shows an individual performing a specific task related to their craft, accompanied by a short caption in Dutch. These broadsides were popular educational tools in the Netherlands, providing visual representations of various occupations for the general public. They are a valuable source for understanding the everyday lives and working conditions of people in the past. This particular broadside is housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and is a prime example of the genre, showcasing the meticulous detail and craftsmanship of the period.
