Uitvindingen 1843

"Uitvindingen" (Inventions) is a 1843 print by Dutch artist Dirk Wijbrand Tollenaar (1808-1858) and is part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum. The print depicts four illustrations of Dutch inventions with explanatory text in Dutch below each image, including a telegraph, a telescope, a "zeilwagen" (sail-carriage) and a "moddermolen" (mud mill). The illustrations are in a simple, detailed wood-engraved style, typical of the time, and provide an interesting insight into Dutch technical advancements in the early 19th century.
