Lodsen. Prøvetryk til Chr. Winther og M. Rørbye, "25 Billeder for små børn" 1846

"Lodsen" (The Pilot) is an 1846 lithograph by Adolph Kittendorff. The print depicts a man standing on a beach looking out to sea through a telescope. This is one of 25 images from the series, "25 Billeder for små børn," a collection of prints aimed at young children. The image is notable for its simple and direct composition, with the central figure of the pilot dominating the scene. The use of a black and white palette lends a sense of realism to the subject matter. The print, currently housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, is a testament to Kittendorff’s talent as a printmaker and his ability to communicate complex ideas in a way that is accessible to young audiences.
