Kinderen siet dees Vogels aan / en wilt uw vlijd vermeeren / Soo sult gy vroolyk eer gy 't weet / 't A / B / al speelent leeren 1738 - 1767

This 18th-century Dutch educational print by Gijsbert de Groot Keur features 24 illustrated birds, each paired with a letter of the alphabet. Entitled *Kinderen siet dees Vogels aan / en wilt uw vlijd vermeeren / Soo sult gy vroolyk eer gy 't weet / 't A / B / al speelent leeren*, this work would have been used to help children learn their letters. The print is a prime example of didactic art - art intended to teach a lesson or to educate. It is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
