All scenes are captioned at the bottom with a title and dedication/verse in Dutch and French. This collection is famous for its genre scenes which depict daily-life scenes from the Dutch bourgeoisie in a domestic and intimate atmosphere. The scenes show the preference of rococo artists to paint entertaining scenes with a glimpse of naughtiness among which the very notorious scene of the ‘Ambassadeur der Laberlotten’ and ‘De Misleyden’ both show the event of a practical joke from 1739 showing a painted behind out of a window resembling a face which had to pass for a foreign ambassador. Most of the plates are engraved by J. Houbraken and P. Tanjé and by A. Delfos, R. Muys, R. Pelletier, J. Punt, and A. Radigues.
