"Driekoningenbriefjes" (1800-1833) by Philippus Jacobus Brepols (1778-1845) is a Dutch print consisting of 36 squares, each depicting a different scene and accompanied by a verse in Dutch. The colorful and simple style of the artwork aimed to teach children about daily life, work, and customs in the Netherlands. This piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of the educational and cultural value of early Dutch prints.
