Kindervreugd / of plaatjes voor kleine teekenaars en prentevriendjes; door R. G. Rijkens 1808 - 1844

"Kindervreugd" (Children's Joy) is a collection of illustrative prints by Dutch artist Jan Oomkens, published between 1808 and 1844. This particular print features seven small illustrations depicting various scenes from daily life in the Netherlands. The drawings, rendered in pen and ink, are simple and charming, with a focus on playful narratives and moral lessons for young children. Each image is accompanied by a short verse in Dutch, further engaging the young audience with the artwork. This print, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases the enduring legacy of Oomkens's contribution to Dutch children's literature and art.
