"Kom, kind'ren, koop deez' prent zy zal uw wis vermaken" (Come, children, buy this picture, it will entertain you), a broadside by Dutch artist Jan Hendriksen (1781-1828), depicts a series of vignettes of children playing with various toys. The artwork, printed in black and red ink, illustrates the playful and imaginative nature of children, highlighting their interactions with toys like a kite, a slingshot, and a hoop. The text beneath each scene provides a description of the activity, offering a glimpse into the everyday lives of children in 18th-century Netherlands. This broadside, printed by J. Hendriksen, exemplifies the popular genre of children's literature in the period.
