Wat zegt ge, ô wakkre jeugd! Kan u deez' prent bekooren? / Verheug dan uw gezigt, en denk den trom te hooren. / Lees wat 'er obder staat, tot leerzucht aangespoord, / Zo dikwils gy de stem der onderwyzing hoort 1806 - 1830

This engraving, titled *Wat zegt ge, ô wakkre jeugd! Kan u deez' prent bekooren? / Verheug dan uw gezigt, en denk den trom te hooren. / Lees wat 'er obder staat, tot leerzucht aangespoord, / Zo dikwils gy de stem der onderwyzing hoort,* by Johan Noman (1806-1830) depicts three drummers in a town square. It serves as an illustration for a poem advocating for civic engagement and the importance of music, perhaps specifically the drums, in promoting civic duty. This piece is a fine example of the genre of satirical engraving and was likely enjoyed by a wide audience in the Netherlands.
