Waar men een huis van bouwt 1865 - 1875

"Waar men een huis van bouwt" is a Dutch children’s book illustration by George Lodewijk Funke, a Dutch painter known for his illustrations of children’s books. The print shows a series of eight vignettes, each depicting a step in the process of building a house, such as cutting down wood, laying the foundation, and the final construction. Each vignette is accompanied by a short description in Dutch. This print would have been part of a series of prints for children, teaching them about the world around them. The scenes are simple but detailed, with clear lines and strong contrasts, characteristic of Funke’s style.
