Children’s print showing men farming, fishing and hunting. Prints like these had a didactic function, teaching children different aspects of trades. This print specifically stimulates children to be industrious and diligent, by showing them how much pride the depicted men take in their work, and the joy it brings them: ‘Den Landman heeft de beste pret, Als hy zyn Graan op stapel zet’. The last three images are winter scenes, with young men and women enjoying themselves on the ice, and saving a man from drowning.
Woodcuts unsigned, but possibly by G. Oortman, who cut various plates in Hendriksen’s stock.

Rotterdam, J. Hendriksen (1782 – 1828), address mentioned on the print: ‘Te Rotterdam, by J. Hendriksen, Boek- en Plaatdrukker op de Hoogstraat’; numbered ‘No 21’ in upper left corner.
