Spreekwoorden 1850

"Spreekwoorden" (Proverbs) is a 1850 print by Jan Schuitemaker. It is a visual illustration of various Dutch proverbs. The four black and white illustrations portray scenes from everyday life in 19th century Netherlands, showing a group of people gathered around a table, a woman washing laundry, a man seated in a tavern, and a family seated around a table. Each scene is accompanied by a proverb written in Dutch, inviting viewers to reflect on the meaning of each saying. "Spreekwoorden" is a delightful glimpse into the lives and culture of 19th century Netherlands, offering both visual appeal and educational value.
