Timmerman en zijn zoon 1867 - 1884

"A Father's Lessons on the Illustrated Wall-Papers" is an anonymous 19th-century wood engraving depicting a father and his son. The father, wearing a vest and a beard, points to a wall covered with wallpaper featuring a series of illustrative vignettes. The young boy seems distracted and looks off into the distance, perhaps contemplating the father's instruction about the wallpaper's scenes. The father's gesture and the boy's gaze create a dynamic interplay that highlights the educational nature of the artwork. This engraving, likely created for commercial purposes, showcases the popularity of illustrated wall-papers during the Victorian era.
