De Vesuvius, de Rheinfall, een regenboog en een vallende ster 1842

This 1842 wood engraving by Dutch artist Willem Bal, titled "De Vesuvius, de Rheinfall, een regenboog en een vallende ster," depicts four natural phenomena: Mount Vesuvius erupting, the Rhine Falls, a rainbow, and a shooting star. The four scenes are surrounded by text, likely descriptions of the natural phenomena. This print would have been featured in "Prenten-Magazijn voor de Jeugd," a periodical aimed at young audiences. The print exemplifies Bal's interest in depicting natural wonders and his ability to convey these wonders in an engaging manner for a younger audience.
