Zie Steven van der Klok, hier in zyn gantsche leven, / Met alles wat die snaak op aarde heeft bedreven. / Het was een rare snaak, en een trankiele vent, / Doch kwam, door domheid, nog elendig aan zyn end 1791 - 1812

This 18th-century broadside, *Zie Steven van der Klok,* by Jacobus Thompson, depicts the life of a man named Steven van der Klok. Comprised of 20 panels, the work uses woodcut illustrations to tell a story about a silly and unfortunate character, Steven, in a narrative form. Each scene is accompanied by Dutch text describing Steven's mishaps. This satirical print was created for entertainment and served as a cautionary tale, showcasing the consequences of foolish behavior. *Zie Steven van der Klok* is a prominent example of the *fable* genre. The work is currently located at the Rijksmuseum.
