This 1850 print by Jan Schuitemaker, titled *Waterhoos, ijsbergen, geiser en noorderlicht,* illustrates a variety of natural phenomena. The four panels depict a waterspout, icebergs, a geyser, and the aurora borealis, with each image accompanied by a short Dutch poem. The print reflects the growing interest in natural science and the popularity of educational prints for children in 19th-century Europe. The use of simple, yet detailed linework evokes the awe-inspiring power of nature. *Waterhoos, ijsbergen, geiser en noorderlicht* is a beautiful and informative example of 19th-century nature illustration.
