"Beschouwt hier Kinderen! een agttal wilde dieren, / Die weinig ons bekend, ja vreemde landen tieren," is a wood engraving print from 1781-1828 by Hermanus van Lubeek (1770-1807), currently held by the Rijksmuseum. The engraving depicts eight different exotic animals from around the world, each accompanied by a short descriptive text in Dutch. The work illustrates the cultural fascination with the natural world and the exotic, providing a visual glimpse into 18th and 19th-century zoological knowledge and illustration styles.
