Ziet jonge jeugd / hier kunt gy leeren / Hoe men in de waereld moet verkeeren 1725 - 1780

"Ziet jonge jeugd / hier kunt gy leeren / Hoe men in de waereld moet verkeeren" is a 1725 - 1780 woodcut by Johannes (II) Kannewet depicting a series of 12 scenes illustrating the lessons of life. These "broadside" prints were popular in 17th and 18th century Europe as a way to communicate stories, news, or moral lessons. This particular woodcut tells a story through a series of scenes. Johannes (II) Kannewet is known for his illustrations of children’s books. This print, which is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is an example of a type of art that was very common in its time and is today of great interest to art historians and those interested in the history of book illustration.
