Den handel, schoon in 't kleyn gedreven, / Schynt toch nog eenig winst te geven, / le commerce en petit, / Plusiers personnes nourrit 1842 - 1856

"Den handel, schoon in 't kleyn gedreven, / Schynt toch nog eenig winst te geven, / le commerce en petit, / Plusiers personnes nourrit," is a satirical print by P.J. Delhuvenne, published between 1842 and 1856. The work depicts a series of small vignettes of street vendors, each with a rhyming caption in Dutch and French. The artwork satirizes the small-scale commerce of the time and celebrates its contribution to the lives of many people. The engraving style and the lively yet critical tone make it a fascinating example of social commentary through art in the 19th century.
