Prøvetryk til Chr. Winthers A.B.C. 1863

"Prøvetryk til Chr. Winthers A.B.C." is a 1863 wood engraving by H.P. Hansen. It is a preparatory print for an illustration in a children's alphabet book. The detailed engraving depicts an Egyptian landscape with a river, palm trees, and the pyramids in the distance. Figures in the foreground are shown in a variety of activities such as carrying a basket, holding a parasol and walking. The small size and delicate lines of the engraving make it a charming example of 19th-century illustration for children.
