Kindervreugd / of plaatjes voor kleine teekenaars en prentevriendjes; door R. G. Rijkens 1827

"Kindervreugd" (Children's Joy) is a collection of 1827 illustrated rhymes by R. G. Rijkens, printed in Groningen by Jan Oomkens. The work is comprised of eight small scenes printed on one page. Each scene is accompanied by a short rhyme in Dutch, meant to be both entertaining and educational for children. The scenes depict everyday life and feature simple illustrations of children engaged in activities like eating, playing, or learning. This charming and whimsical example of early 19th-century Dutch children's literature is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
