Door deez prentjens, met hun versjens, wordt gy, kinderen! gebragt, / Op het pad der zaalge kennis van Gods wysheid, van zyn magt 1715 - 1813

This woodblock print, "Door deez prentjens, met hun versjens, wordt gy, kinderen! gebragt, / Op het pad der zaalge kennis van Gods wysheid, van zyn magt" (1715-1813), by the erven weduwe Cornelis Stichter is a prime example of Dutch didactic art. It features 24 individual images of animals, each with an accompanying rhyming verse in Dutch, teaching children about the wonders of God's creation. This print is a testament to the importance of education and religious instruction in 18th-century Dutch society, and its simple yet impactful design speaks to the enduring appeal of this genre.
