Spotprent met de Waarheid in de Tweede Kamer, 1866 1866

This 1866 satirical print by Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans, titled *Spotprent met de Waarheid in de Tweede Kamer*, depicts Truth as a nude woman standing on a cloud above a Dutch parliamentary chamber. Truth is holding a mirror inscribed with the word "WAARHEID," which in Dutch means "Truth." The print satirizes the Dutch government's lack of transparency, using humor and exaggeration to comment on a political issue of the day. This small, hand-drawn print exemplifies the artist's ability to use graphic design to deliver a powerful social message.
