This 1842-1856 satirical print by P.J. Delhuvenne, titled "Hier ziet gy pronken in triomphant, de schoonste neuzen van het land." / "lei vous voyez, mos anaïs, les plus jolis nez du pays.", features a series of 25 caricatured portraits with exaggerated noses and accompanying captions. The print utilizes humor to comment on the appearance and character of individuals, likely targeting specific social groups and behaviors within the Netherlands. This humorous approach to social critique, known as caricature, was popular in 19th-century art and served as a form of social commentary.
