Bernard Nieuwentijt. - Geb. te West-Grafdijk 10 Aug. 1654. Overl. te Purmerende 30 mei 1718 1850 - 1881

This wood-engraving print titled "Bernard Nieuwentijt. - Geb. te West-Grafdijk 10 Aug. 1654. Overl. te Purmerende 30 mei 1718" was created by Dirk Noothoven van Goor between 1850 and 1881. The print depicts several scenes from the life of Bernard Nieuwentijt, a Dutch physician, mathematician, and philosopher. Each scene, framed by a caption in Dutch, illustrates a specific moment from his life, highlighting his career and intellectual pursuits. It was likely a part of a larger educational print series for children, as the caption indicates, "Prenten-Magazijn voor de Jeugd." This kind of print was very popular in the 19th century and served both educational and entertainment purposes.
