De nieuwe kleèren 1876 - 1890

"De nieuwe kleèren" (The New Clothes) is a series of 12 illustrations created by Albert Quantin between 1876 and 1890. These illustrations tell a story about a young boy, a tailor, and a magical set of invisible clothes. The series is printed on a single sheet, with each illustration accompanied by Dutch text that narrates the events of the story. Each scene portrays a different aspect of the boy's experience, depicting his interactions with the tailor and the reactions of others to the invisible garments. The illustrations are drawn in a simple but charming style, using vibrant colors and expressive figures. These illustrations are a great example of 19th-century Dutch graphic art and storytelling.
