Lammen goedzak / Le bon Guillaume 1800 - 1833

"Lammen Goedzak / Le bon Guillaume," an 1800–1833 illustrated broadside by Philippus Jacobus Brepols, is a charming example of 19th-century visual storytelling. The print depicts a series of vignettes in a simple, folksy style that tell the story of a lazy man named Lammen Goedzak, or "Lazybones," and his various mishaps. The artwork's humor and quaint details offer a glimpse into everyday life in the early 19th century. This broadside, which was likely intended for a popular audience, is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
