"Zinspeling op eenige onbekende ambachten en handwerken" (Allusion to some unknown trades and handicrafts), created by Jan Hendriksen between 1781 and 1828, is a satirical broadside featuring a grid of 20 woodcuts. Each image depicts a different profession, with an accompanying text in Dutch that provides a humorous description of the work and a play on words. This print was likely intended for a general audience, and its use of accessible humor and simple imagery makes it a charming and educational example of 18th-century Dutch printmaking.
