This print, created by the heirs of Cornelis Stichter's widow between 1715 and 1813, features a grid of 40 individual illustrations depicting various animals. Titled "Allerhande slag van dieren," the print aims to educate young viewers about both familiar and exotic creatures. Each animal is depicted in a simple, illustrative style, with a short rhyming description below, offering a glimpse into the zoological knowledge of the time. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a fascinating window into 18th-century natural history and its visual representation.
