De snor van Emile 1894 - 1959

"De snor van Emile" is a series of illustrations created by the Monogrammist JGr between 1894 and 1959. The colorful, cartoonish style is typical of children’s picture books of the early 20th century. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts various scenes from a young boy's life, each panel depicting a different story. The detailed images, featuring a young boy named Emile, are accompanied by Dutch text that explains the scene. This work is an excellent example of the popular children's illustration genre.
