Bijbelsche kinderprenten 1869 - 1908

"Bijbelsche Kinderprenten" is a series of four wood engravings by Adolphe François Pannemaker, depicting biblical scenes. This specific print features four images, each with a Dutch title: "De geboorte des Heeren," "De Wijzen uit het Oosten," "De Vlucht naar Egypte," and "De Kindermoord te Bethlehem." The print was made between 1869 and 1908 and is now held by the Rijksmuseum. Pannemaker was a Dutch artist known for his illustrations, especially for children's books, including religious themes. These engravings likely served as educational materials for children, teaching them about the stories of the Bible. The print's format, with four images alongside their text, suggests it was intended for a young audience. Each image utilizes detail and realistic portrayals, showing Pannemaker's skill as an illustrator and his ability to engage a young audience with biblical stories.
