Spotprent op de Amsterdamse raadslid L. Simons, 1910 Possibly 1910 - 1911

This is a satirical cartoon by Dutch artist Jan Rinke titled "Spotprent op de Amsterdamse raadslid L. Simons" (Caricature of the Amsterdam council member L. Simons). Created around 1910-1911, the artwork depicts L. Simons as a swan, symbolizing his political aspirations. The exaggerated features of the swan are meant to be humorous and critical of Simons' perceived political maneuvering. The image is likely a commentary on the political scene in Amsterdam during that period, using visual satire to entertain and provoke. The artwork reflects the popularity of political cartoons as a form of social commentary in the early 20th century.
