Zo als Adam alle dieren noemen zouden / Dat zoude zijn naam zijn / en die ook behouden 1725 - 1780

Johannes (II) Kannewet's "Zo als Adam alle dieren noemen zouden / Dat zoude zijn naam zijn / en die ook behouden" is an 18th-century Dutch woodcut print depicting 24 animals in a grid format. The print is part of a larger series, and the individual animal illustrations are hand-colored. The print features a variety of species, including birds, mammals, and mythical creatures, with each animal labeled with its Dutch name. This print is an excellent example of the " bestiary" genre, which was popular during the Renaissance and Baroque periods, and reflects the ongoing fascination with natural history.
