This undated print, made by Glenisson & Zonen, combines images and text to deliver a moral lesson. The print is divided into eight framed vignettes, each depicting a different scene of everyday life, possibly representing various professions or social roles. Each scene is accompanied by a short verse in Dutch, providing commentary or moral instruction. The title translates to "Look, children, something new again, / But follow the path of virtue, / It serves to teach you, / Then you will always be honored." This suggests the print was intended for children, aiming to instill values and guide their behavior. The figures are rendered in a simple, somewhat naive style, reflecting the print's didactic purpose rather than aesthetic sophistication. The narratives promote a traditional worldview and moral code, reinforcing societal expectations. It's a fascinating glimpse into the values and beliefs that were considered important to impart to young people.
