Bijbelsche kinderprenten 1869 - 1908

"Bijbelsche Kinderprenten," a series of four woodcuts by Héliodore Joseph Pisan, depicts scenes from the Bible. Printed between 1869 and 1908, these illustrations were intended for a young audience. Each panel features a narrative moment from the Old Testament, with detailed scenes depicting biblical figures and events, like the burial of Sarah, the meeting of Eliezer and Rebecca, and the arrival of Rebecca in Canaan. The combination of text and visuals makes the artwork educational and engaging for children. The use of black and white creates a sense of drama and historical authenticity.
