"Vermaak, o jeugd! uw oog en geest, / Als gij deez' prenten ziet en leest (...)" is a series of eight woodcut prints created by Philippus Jacobus Brepols between 1800 and 1833. This satirical print series, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts humorous scenes of everyday life in the Netherlands through simple woodcut illustrations. The images are characterized by their use of bright, flat colors and a naive, childlike style that is typical of folk art. The text accompanying each image offers further commentary on the scene. This work of art offers viewers a unique glimpse into the social commentary and humor of Dutch life during the early 19th century.
