Prøvetryk til Chr. Winthers A.B.C. 1863

This 1863 print by Danish artist H.P. Hansen is a test print for Chr. Winther's A.B.C., a children's book. The image depicts a crocodile in a swamp, its mouth open in a threatening gesture, as a small figure runs away in fear. This simple yet effective illustration captures the excitement and danger associated with the natural world, making it an engaging piece for young audiences. The detailed black and white etching, held in the Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Hansen's skill in capturing movement and emotion within a small format.
