"Waterhoos, ijsbergen, geiser en noorderlicht," created between 1850 and 1881 by Dirk Noothoven van Goor, is a wood engraving that depicts four natural phenomena. The work consists of four individual vignettes, each with a short caption. The top left vignette depicts a waterspout, with an accompanying caption that describes the phenomenon. The top right image depicts an iceberg, the bottom left a geyser, and the bottom right shows the aurora borealis. The artist utilized a detailed and precise style, likely intended for educational purposes. The work is a valuable resource for those interested in natural history and the history of printing.
