Zoo kan het fabeldicht u leeren en vermaken, / Door een verscheidenheid van zonderlinge zaken. / Geef dan, leergrage jeugd! ook fabelleer gehoor, / En dring zoo meer en meer tot waar- en braafheid door 1787 - 1822

This woodcut print, "Zoo kan het fabeldicht u leeren en vermaken," by Dutch artist Jan Hendrik de Lange, is a collection of six fables depicted in simple woodcuts. Created between 1787 and 1822, the artwork is a didactic tool, aiming to teach and entertain children through animal fables. Each scene is accompanied by a caption in Dutch, explaining the moral of the story. De Lange's woodcut style is characteristic of the period, utilizing simple lines and a limited color palette. This work exemplifies the pedagogical use of art in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
