Kinderspelen 1850

"Kinderspelen" (Children's Games) is a 1850 print by Jan Schuitemaker, depicting a series of vignettes illustrating various Dutch children's games of the time. Printed in black and white, the work uses a simple, descriptive style to capture the playful activities of children, from "Stilten loopen" (walking on stilts) and "Met den polsstok springen" (pole vaulting) to "In den zak loopen" (running into a sack) and "Op het Ganzbord spelen" (playing goose game). This illustrative work, likely intended for a younger audience, provides a glimpse into the world of Dutch children's entertainment in the 19th century.
