Het dierenrijk, is lieve jeugd, / Hier afgebeeld tot uwe vreugd; / Gij kunt gerust met hen verkeeren, / De wreedste zelfs zal u niet deeren 1848 - 1881

*Het dierenrijk, is lieve jeugd, / Hier afgebeeld tot uwe vreugd; / Gij kunt gerust met hen verkeeren, / De wreedste zelfs zal u niet deeren,* (The animal kingdom, dear youth, / Here depicted for your joy; / You can safely interact with them, / Even the cruelest will not harm you) is a colorful lithograph by Lutkie & Cranenburg, dated 1848-1881, depicting various animals in individual squares. The image was likely used for educational purposes, teaching children about different species. The animals are depicted in a stylized manner, with simple lines and bright colors, making the piece both informative and visually engaging. The Dutch text adds a charming and playful tone to the work. The lithograph, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the visual culture of the 19th century.
