Spotprent over de behandeling van den negenurige werkdag in de (Amsterdamse) gemeenteraad, 1910 Possibly 1910 - 1930

This satirical cartoon, "Spotprent over de behandeling van den negenurige werkdag in de (Amsterdamse) gemeenteraad," by Dutch artist Jan Rinke, depicts a scene of political unrest. The illustration portrays the nine-hour workday as a shattered window, with politicians "Oudegeest" and "Pothuis" being accused of breaking it. A policeman stands nearby, pointing at the broken glass and accusing the men of "heusch niet gedaan." The cartoon, likely from the 1910s, uses satire to highlight the complexities of labor laws and political negotiations. It serves as a powerful social commentary on the dynamics between labor, politicians, and law enforcement during a period of social and economic change in the Netherlands.
