Neemt kinders die dit leest, aandacht op deze menschen / En ziet of zulk een staat u wel zou zyn naar wenschen (...) 1800 - 1854

"Neemt kinders die dit leest, aandacht op deze menschen / En ziet of zulk een staat u wel zoo zyn naar wenschen (...)" is a broadside, or a printed sheet, created by Erve H. Rynders between 1800 and 1854. The broadside features six illustrations of individuals in various states of poverty and misfortune, each accompanied by a caption in both Dutch and French. This broadside from the Rijksmuseum exemplifies the genre of social commentary and aims to draw attention to the plight of the poor, highlighting their struggles and urging viewers to consider their own fortunate circumstances. The combination of visuals and text creates a powerful message for a wide audience.
