Centsprent: Histoire de Jean et Marguerite / Geschiedenis van Jan en Margaretha. 83.
Catchpenny print showing the history of Jan de Wasscher, who takes over the household chores of his wife, such as cooking, cleaning and taking care of the children. He was the typical example of a henpecked husband. His story was one of the most popular subjects depicted in children’s prints, having been printed in many forms and versions. The motif of the world depicted ‘upside down’ was very common at the time, and changed roles within the household specifically, goes back to the theme of the fight for the trousers (‘Strijd om de broek’), where the woman literally turns the gender roles upside down by changing her skirt for her husband’s trousers . This version presents Jan and his family as apes, giving the story not only a humoristic, but also a more satirical or moralising meaning. Even the priest was given the face of a monkey, which was later considered to be inappropriate, which is why Brepols later reissued the print changing only his face to a human’s (Boerma pp. 391-6).Schaarbeek, Hemeleers & Van Houter (1827 - 1894), numbered ‘83, in the top.l 24 woodcut illustrations (each ca. 45 x 65 mm) on paper, stencil coloured in red, yellow and blue; 2-line verses under each image in Dutch and French, in letterpress; total: 385 x 302 mm; small margins, paper in good condition.Meyer p. 164, Boerma p. 760 (Hemeleers 83).

Centsprent: Klein duimpje en de gelaarsde kat, N. 5.
Children’s print showing two fairy tales in which a small main character unexpectedly outwits the others. The first half is dedicated to the story of Hop-o'-My-Thumb (Klein Duimpje), who is abandoned by his parents, saves his brothers from being eaten by the wild man, and steals his magic seven-league boots. His great wisdom compensates for his smallness of size. The bottom half depicts the fairy tale of Puss in Boots (de gelaarsde kat), who presents the king with gifts from his master, the Marquis of Carabas, and deceives the king into thinking that the land along the road, and the castle formerly owned by a wild man belong to the Marquis.Deventer, J. de Lange (1752 - 1787), address mentioned on the print: ‘Ter Boekdrukkerij van J. de Lange, aan den Brink te Deventer’; numbered ‘N. 5.’ in the upper right corner.l 12 woodcut illustrations (each ca. 67 x 80 mm) on paper; hand coloured in orange, blue and yellow; under each image a verse, in letterpress; total: 415 x 335 mm; folded three times, some small holes at the folds, light stain at the bottom right.De Meyer p. 204, Boerma p. 777 (Lange 5).
