Verschillende dieren / Différents animaux 1866 - 1902

This 19th-century print, *Verschillende dieren / Différents animaux*, by Franciscus Antonius Beersmans (1840-1897) features 12 different animals in a grid format. Each animal is labeled in both Dutch and French, offering a bilingual educational experience. The image depicts a variety of animals, including a tiger, lion, bear, and giraffe. This educational print likely targeted a young audience, and the detailed yet simplified images of the animals would have helped children learn about the natural world. The print is a fine example of early educational illustrations and exemplifies the burgeoning scientific interest in the natural world during the 19th century.
