This is a series of four illustrations from the print series *Bijbelsche Kinderprenten* ("Biblical Children's Prints") by Héliodore Joseph Pisan. Printed between 1869 and 1908, the series was meant for children to learn about the Bible. Each image depicts a different story from the Gospels, including Jesus walking on water, the Parable of the Prodigal Son, Jesus blessing the children, and Jesus cleansing the temple. While the prints have a simple visual style, they capture the essence of these iconic stories and are a great example of Victorian era religious art.
