De walvisch is te groot, om 's middags op te disschen, / Kiest kindren, voor uw smaak een soort van andre visschen 1856 - 1900

This colorful 19th-century Dutch educational print by Glenisson & Zonen is a delightful illustration of various fish and sea creatures, including a large whale. The title, “De walvisch is te groot, om 's middags op te disschen, / Kiest kindren, voor uw smaak een soort van andre visschen,” translates to “The whale is too large to serve for dinner, / Children, choose a type of other fish for your taste.” The print features a series of images with accompanying descriptions, offering a glimpse into the world of marine life and its culinary potential. This print, like many others in its era, demonstrates the growing interest in natural history and the importance of visual aids in education.
