Driekoningenbriefjes 1827 - 1894

This print, *Driekoningenbriefjes*, created by M. Hemeleers-van Houter between 1827 and 1894, features a series of 20 vignettes, each depicting a different person on horseback. The text accompanying the vignettes appears to be in Dutch. These prints are likely *Driekoningenbriefjes*, or Epiphany letter slips, a Dutch tradition where children would write a wish on a piece of paper and attach it to a small gift that they would bring to a house on Epiphany. The artwork's vibrant colors and illustrative style, typical of 19th-century Dutch folk art, make it an engaging example of this tradition. The work is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
