This 19th-century Dutch print, *Het Hollandsch spreekwoord is een woord der schranderheid, / Daarom is in dat vak dees kinder-prent bereid,* by Johan Noman depicts 20 small scenes in a grid, each illustrating a different Dutch proverb. This type of print, known as a *prent,* was popular in the Netherlands as a form of moral instruction and entertainment. The use of simple, black-and-white drawings and the humorous nature of the proverbs made them accessible to a wide audience. The print is a valuable document of Dutch culture and language in the early 19th century.
