Letter-spel 1806 - 1830

"Letter-spel" is an alphabet chart created by Johan Noman in the early 19th century. Each letter of the alphabet is depicted with an accompanying illustration of an animal. The Dutch title translates to "Letter Game," suggesting that the artwork was intended for children to learn the alphabet while associating each letter with a recognizable image. The detailed engravings of various animals, ranging from familiar farm animals to more exotic creatures, create an engaging and educational visual experience. The work is held in the Rijksmuseum, showcasing the importance of early Dutch education and art.
