This 19th-century engraving, "Kind'ren ziet dit zijn geen prullen, / Maar dingen om eens regt te smullen. / Hebt gij wel ooit een prent gehad / die zoo veel lekkernij bevat?," by Alexander Cranendoncq, is a humorous and detailed depiction of various Dutch foods. The artwork, held by the Rijksmuseum, features a grid of 36 images, each representing a specific item. Cranendoncq's playful approach to depicting everyday delicacies reveals a societal fascination with abundance and culinary delights during this period. The engraving's title, "Children, see, these are not rubbish, / But things to feast upon. / Have you ever seen a print / That contains so much deliciousness?," further emphasizes the artwork's focus on the pleasurable aspects of food and its appeal to a wide audience.
