Catchpenny print. Children’s print of various images without much coherence, showing animals like a duck, an elephant, a lady on horseback and a statue for Peter I the Great (Peter de Grote). The first print in the Erve Wijsmuller’s second series of 28 children’s prints, created with reused wood engravings of animals, people, buildings, professions, and means of transportation. The various images show little coherence. The captions are sometimes funny, but often little inventive. Despite that, prints from this series were widely distributed and they are in many public collections (Boerma pp. 304 – 306).

Amsterdam, Erve Wijsmuller (1828 – 1851), mentioned on the print; numbered ‘No. 1.’ in upper right corner.
