Centsprent: De Hobbelaars, De Hengelaar, etc. [various genre scenes], no. 77.
Popular print with various genre scenes of objects, places and people, each accompanied by a warning or moral lesson. Children are warned for the sails of the windmill and for going out in stormy weather, but also encouraged to help the poor and to work diligently as a farmer or fisherman. The bottom row includes a nice image of ‘koekhakken’ a seventeenth-century game played at fairs, where the players hit a piece of thick, hard cake, and the person who could break the cake received it as a reward. Originally the game was played with an axe, but it was later replaced by a stick since this led to too many accidents – for which the print also warns. Signed, J. P(lugger).
