Uit den kindertijd 1874

"Uit den Kindertijd" (From Childhood) is a 1874 artwork created by De Ruyter & Meijer. This illustrative print depicts scenes from Dutch children's lives. Divided into six panels, each scene showcases a different activity, from sledding and playing in the snow to hide-and-seek and celebrating Saint Nicholas Day. The use of bright colors, detailed figures, and charming narratives makes this print an excellent example of 19th-century children's illustration, likely capturing the playful innocence of Dutch childhood.
