Description
Realistic acrylic painting of the Hoogeveen Reading Board with illustrator Cornelis Jetses, painted by the Dutch fine artist Paul Meijering - the original painting is 90 x 120 cm
Cornelis Jetses (Groningen, 23 June 1873 - Wassenaar, 9 June 1955) was a Dutch illustrator. Jetses became best known for his detailed illustrations in school books, school records and historical prints. He also worked as a book binding designer.
Born in a poor neighbourhood in Groningen, he proved to have a talent for drawing at an early age. From the age of thirteen, he took drawing lessons in the evenings, while working in a lithographic print shop during the day.
Cornelis Jetses married Albertina Holkamp in 1899. Their daughter Everdina was born in 1900. They lived in Bremen, Zeist, Scheveningen and Wassenaar. Albertina died in 1939. Jetses died in 1955 and was buried near the village church in Wassenaar.
In 1901, Jetses drew a furniture catalogue printed by publisher J.B. Wolters in Groningen. Director E.B. ter Horst Jr. (1865-1905) of this publisher then asked him to do the illustrations for the booklets by Jan Ligthart and Hindericus Scheepstra. Four volumes of Dicht bij huis (Close to Home) appeared in 1902 and 1903 with stories and drawings about everyday life.
Ligthart, Scheepstra and Jetses were also asked to make a new version of Hoogeveen's Leesplankje (reading board). In 1906 the reading board was published with which generations of Dutch children learned to read: aap noot mies wim zus jet teun vuur gijs lam kees bok weide does hok duif schapen.
