= Atlas van Stolk 3029 (listing the series as titled "Paisans d'Hollande &c"); Colas 79. I.a. depicting "Oost-Indise Bootsgezel", "Ys tijd", "Wyn tijd" (SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LXXIII) and "De vreed zaame kopster". Rare series, showing the local dresses for men and women (and children) in the various provinces of the Netherlands, the captions extolling their livelihood, partly with puns on their trade. The "Visser van 't Eiland Marken" for instance has as caption: "Kost ons de vis geen geld Het onweer dikwils kneld", to which his wife reponds: "Die in mijn meertje vist Nog onweer treft nog mist". Two of the prints illustrate the seasons, i.a. the "Bloey tijd" and the "Wijn tijd".
