"Hier hebt ge een Reisbeschryving, ja, / En dat nog wel van Pierlala," is a wood-engraving that comprises a series of small illustrations that were originally part of a longer narrative. Created by S. & W. Koene in the early 19th century, the work exemplifies the woodcut technique common in that era. The 16 individual scenes depict moments from a fictional journey, with the text below each scene serving as a narrative guide. Each image is characterized by simple lines and delicate details, capturing the essence of a story meant to be enjoyed by a general audience. These works are often classified under the genre of "chapbooks," which were popular print media for storytelling during that period.
