Boekenveiling Possibly 1905

"Boekenveiling" is a satirical cartoon from possibly 1905 by an anonymous artist. The image depicts a humorous scene of a book auction, with an auctioneer presenting a book to a group of bidders. The exaggerated features of the characters and the comical situation create a light-hearted commentary on the world of literature and art collecting. The artist's use of color and line adds to the visual humor, making the work a charming and engaging example of social satire.
