This 18th-century broadside by Jan Hendriksen, titled "Kinderen, zoo ge u wil vermaken, / Komt, beschouwt dan deze snaken, / Elk in zyn stand en doen, / Wilt daar by uw leeslust voên," is a series of 24 small woodcut illustrations, each depicting a different profession or activity. The figures are depicted in a simple, almost childlike style, and the scenes are filled with details that would have been familiar to the original audience. This print would have been used as a teaching tool or for entertainment, demonstrating the diversity of Dutch life in the 18th century. The text surrounding each image provides a brief description of the activity or profession, written in Dutch. The print was likely intended for a young audience, with the title suggesting that it was designed to be both educational and entertaining.
