Kindervreugd / of plaatjes voor kleine teekenaars en prentevriendjes; door R. G. Rijkens 1827

"Kindervreugd," a collection of images and rhymes for young children, was created in 1827 by Jan Oomkens, a Dutch artist known for his illustrations and prints. This particular sheet, measuring 428 mm by 334 mm, features six vignettes depicting various scenes, each with an accompanying rhyme in Dutch. The scenes include a man throwing a ball, a bird in a cage, a rooster, a man playing the harp, a cityscape, and a rural landscape. These charming illustrations, intended to both entertain and educate young readers, offer a glimpse into 19th-century Dutch culture.
