Offerzuil en lier 1833

This 1833 title page by Schalekamp & Van de Grampel is a simple yet effective design for a collection of moral stories for children. The image depicts a stylized pillar with a smoke plume issuing from the top, radiating beams of light. The title "Zedelijke Verhalen voor Kinderen" in bold font is centered above the illustration, emphasizing the didactic nature of the book. The book was published by Schalekamp & Van de Grampel in Amsterdam. The image, combined with the text, emphasizes the importance of moral education and would have been easily understood by the intended audience of children ages eight to fourteen.
