The firm specialized in informational, educational, and patriotic subject matter intended for a broad audience. The five documented prints held in museum collections reflect this focus on cultural identity and childhood education. Notable representations of their output include De kleederen der Nederlanden verschillen veel in ied'ren stand, / Maar even wel is elk bewoner gehecht aan 't dierbaar vaderland / Les vêtements des pays-Bas varient par leur situation, / Mais cependant chaque habitant révère et chérit la nation, which emphasizes national allegiance and varied regional attire. Other works demonstrate an educational focus, such as Nieuw letterspel voor kinderen / Nouveau jeu d'alphabet voor de kinderen and Kinderdeugden / Vertus des Enfants.

Brepols & Dierckx zoon's work is represented in significant institutional holdings, establishing their historical relevance as publishers of popular imagery. Five high-quality prints attributed to the firm are preserved in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
