Dieren 1850 - 1881

"Dieren," created by Dirk Noothoven van Goor between 1850 and 1881, is a detailed black and white print depicting various animals. The work is likely from a children's educational book, as each animal is accompanied by a rhyming verse describing its traits and habitat. The print features images of an elephant, tapir, rhinoceros, hippopotamus, camel, and giraffe, showcasing a diverse range of animal life. This work exemplifies the popularity of natural history illustrations during the 19th century, which aimed to inform and entertain young audiences through visually engaging and informative prints.
