Veldbloemen 1875 - 1903

"Veldbloemen" (meaning "wildflowers" in Dutch) is a chromolithograph by Jan de Haan, dating between 1875 and 1903. The print is a vibrant and detailed depiction of various Dutch wildflowers, arranged in a botanical illustration style. Each species is labelled in Dutch, making it a visual guide to the flora of the Netherlands. These educational prints were part of a series, intended for children learning about their natural surroundings, exemplifying a popular genre in 19th-century Dutch art. The bright colours and meticulous detail make this work a beautiful example of naturalism in graphic arts.
