Om uw leerlust bot te vieren / Ziet ge / u bekende en vreemde dieren / Die / ter beschouwing aangeboon (...) 1781 - 1828

This educational print from the Netherlands, titled "Om uw leerlust bot te vieren / Ziet ge / u bekende en vreemde dieren / Die / ter beschouwing aangeboon (...)", is a charming example of a 19th-century alphabet chart, created by Jan Hendriksen between 1781 and 1828. The chart depicts various animals, one for each letter of the alphabet, alongside their Dutch names and brief descriptions. The piece, measuring 329 mm by 411 mm, likely aimed to teach children the alphabet and introduce them to a variety of creatures, both familiar and exotic.
