Letters van het alfabet 1702 - 1767

"Letters van het alfabet" is an educational print from 1702-1767 by Dutch artist Jacob Folkema, now at the Rijksmuseum. The print displays the Dutch alphabet in a grid format, with each letter paired with a corresponding image and word. This method of teaching reading was common in the 18th century, and the print's detailed illustrations would have made learning fun and engaging for young children. The print's layout and visual style are reminiscent of traditional Dutch alphabet charts, and it offers a glimpse into the history of Dutch education.
