Kuyper, Hahn's grote doelwit 1903

This caricature by Albert (I) Hahn depicts Abraham Kuyper, a prominent Dutch politician and theologian, as the "big target" (Hahn's grote doelwit) of German imperialism. Created in 1903, the artwork is a satirical commentary on the political climate of the time, reflecting tensions between the Netherlands and Germany. The exaggerated features of Kuyper, framed by the iconic Prussian eagle symbol, effectively communicate the artist's perspective on the perceived threat posed by Germany to Dutch sovereignty. Hahn's use of bold lines and stark contrasts emphasizes the caricature's message, making it a powerful and memorable political statement.
