Allerlei 1869 - 1882

"Allerlei XII" (1869-1882) is a lithograph by Gerhardus Philippus Zalsman. The print features nine distinct vignettes depicting various subjects, including animals, people, and nature. These illustrations are accompanied by Dutch text, suggesting a didactic purpose, perhaps intended for children's education or amusement. The artwork showcases Zalsman's use of detail and bold color, characteristic of his illustrative work. The series' focus on "allerlei" (various things) reflects a common theme in 19th-century art, capturing the diversity of the world around.
