Bloemen en dieren 1875 - 1903

"Bloemen en Dieren, N 131" is a colorful lithograph created by Dutch artist Jan de Haan sometime between 1875 and 1903. The print is part of a series of children's illustrations known as *Nieuwe Nederlandsche Kinderprenten* which depict scenes of everyday life in the Netherlands. This particular print shows two distinct scenes: one depicting a group of children picking flowers in a meadow, and the other showing a group of children feeding a calf and a flock of chickens. These charming and playful illustrations are a testament to De Haan's talent for capturing the innocence and joy of childhood. The use of vibrant colors, detailed figures and a heartwarming narrative make "Bloemen en Dieren" a delightful example of 19th-century Dutch children's illustration.
