He is the author of several "centsprenten" (cathpenny prints).

I found him while reading an article on Flax, Linum usitatissimum.

This print shows how linnen was produced, and how flax seeds were harvested.
The catchpenny prints show the daily life of our ancestors plying trades (that have disappeared), children's games, transport, fashion, role patterns, housing and housekeeping; tilling the land, poverty and wealth; of values and standards and pedagogical views and of image with illustration techniques and styles. They are also regarded as predecessors to the modern-day comic strip.
