Centsprent: Hier ziet gij, lieve Jeugd! een overschoon Tafreel, / Van Genoveva’s deugd, en hoe God haar beloonde, / Hoe zij Onschuldig leed, en werd in haar regt hersteld. / Nadat zij Zeven jaar een Wildernis bewoonde ... No. 22.

Catchpenny print. Children’s print presenting twelve moments in the life of Genoveva, married to earl Siegfried. When falsely accused of infidelity she was sent away to live in the forest. She remained virtuous and pious and was rewarded by God, who brought her husband back to her. The story of Genoveva was mostly printed in the form of books, such as ‘de Historie van Genoveva, huisvrouw van Siegfried’. The woodblocks Ulrich used for the current print were probably originally also used to illustrate books. These images have a clear popular character as is visible from the style of the figures, which are strongly reminiscent of theatre puppets.The series of Ulrich’s children’s prints was advertised in Nieuwsblad voor den Boekhandel on December 7 1836: “Een geheel nieuw soort van kinderprenten. Op schrijfpapier best gekleurd ƒ7,00; dito zwart ƒ5,00; op ordinair papier, gekleurd ƒ 3,20; dito zwart ƒ 3,00. 25 Riem gelijk nemende één tot premie. Deze Prenten laten zich door de aardige rijmpjes, benevens de goede spelling, bijzonder boven alle andere soorten van dien aard, voor de Kinderen aanbevelen, dewijl de Schoolmeesters gerust deze op hunne Scholen kunnen gebruiken.”Rotterdam, J. B. Ulrich, (1816 – 1849), numbered ‘no 22.’ in the bottom left corner.l Twelve woodcut illustrations (each ca 60 x 80 mm) on paper; hand coloured with orange and blue; under each image a 4-line verse in letterpress; total: 415 x 330 mm; Pro Patria watermark; folded twice, small restorations on the vertical fold on the verso.De Meyer p. 320, Boerma p. 833 (Ulrich 22).

Centsprent: Bedelaar / Krygsman / Boer / Edelman, No. 2

Catchpenny print. Popular print showing the four classes: a beggar, soldier, farmer and nobleman. In each image an inscription: ‘Aes en Aes en heeft niet’; ‘Deux Aes en geeft niet’; ‘Quater trois moet geeven’; ‘Daer Sinque Six van moet leven’,This appears to be a reference to the ‘Deux-Aesbijbel’, named after a note with Nehemia 3:5, describing how the rich refused to contribute to the rebuilding of Jerusalem. The note reads: ‘Deux aes en heeft niet, six cinque en gheeft niet, quater dry die helpen vrij’. This refers to a dice game, meaning that the poor (deux aes) do not own anything, the rich (six and five) do not give anything, but the middle class (three and four) are the ones willing to help.Amsterdam, J. Wendel en Zoon (1819 - 1842); address mentioned on print: ‘Te Amsterdam, by, J.

Centsprent: Deez’ prent vertoont aan klein en groot, / Van dwazen Robinson den nood ... no. 27.

Catchpenny print with the history of Robinson Crusoe, showing how the ‘foolish’ Robinson survives after his shipwreck, by farming, hunting and gathering supplies. Despite his hardship, all ends well when a ship appears to take him home.The story of Robinson Crusoe was very successful with publishers of Dutch Children’s prints. Already one year after the appearance of Defoe’s The Life and strange surprising adventures of Robinson Crusoe (London 1719), a Dutch translation was made, and later Dutch versions of the story were published with a Robinson from Holland (1743), from Walcheren (1752) and The Hague (1758). Although neither the English nor the Dutch versions were intended for children, the story became a very popular topic for children’s prints in the nineteenth century (De Meyer p. 519).Wijnhoven printed several fairy tales and stories that had become popular in the Netherlands at the start of the 19th century, such as Little Red Riding Hood (nr. 20).Rotterdam, T. J. Wijnhoven-Hendriksen (1819 - 1849); via D. Pouwels, Bergen op Zoom, whose address is mentioned on the print: ‘Bij D.
