Hier ziet gij met groote vlijt, / De handel en de nijverheid 1848 - 1881

This print, titled "Hier ziet gij met groote vlijt, / De handel en de nijverheid," was created by Lutkie & Cranenburg. It is made of paper, likely using an engraving or etching process. The image depicts various scenes of trade and industry, showing people engaged in different occupations from selling vegetables to butchering meat. The repetitive format emphasizes the labor involved in each task. This print is not just about the final products, but about the work itself. The starkness of the black ink on paper, combined with the detailed depiction of manual labor, brings attention to the social context of the time. The act of producing the print itself through engraving mirrors the industrial activities it represents. It bridges the gap between fine art and the crafts, highlighting the role of both in reflecting the culture and values of society.
