Moraal uit het dierenleven c. 1843 - 1920

"Moraal uit het Dierenleven" (c. 1843-1920) is a series of six illustrations with accompanying text by Max Haider (1807-1873). The lithograph features various animal fables with moralizing messages in Dutch. Each vignette depicts a different animal engaging in an action or scenario, such as a beaver building a dam, a fox being chased, or a cat playing with a mouse. The artist’s use of precise detail and clear linework creates a detailed, humorous, and accessible style typical of the 19th-century illustrated book.
