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

*Kindervreugd* (Children’s Delight), a series of engraved illustrations by Dutch artist Jan Oomkens, was originally published between 1808 and 1844 in Groningen, Netherlands. This print, part of a larger series, is an example of Oomkens's work in the genre of instructional illustrations. Each illustration features a simple object or scene with a short rhyming Dutch text. The scene depicts a chair and table in a room with a Dutch text underneath, describing the scene. The work was intended to aid children in their early learning of Dutch language and literacy. The meticulous detail and charming visual language of Oomkens’s work demonstrate the artist’s commitment to creating engaging and educational materials for young learners.
