This 18th-century Dutch broadside, titled "Zie hier ô kindren! weêr iets raars", by artist Hermanus Numan depicts a collection of beggars and disabled individuals, each with their own story and accompanying verse. Created as a social commentary on poverty, the print highlights the plight of those less fortunate while also encouraging viewers to empathize with their struggles. The work's detailed engravings and accompanying verses create a poignant visual narrative, a reminder of the harsh realities of life in 18th-century Dutch society. This artwork is an example of 18th-century Dutch printmaking, social commentary, and religious themes.
