Spotprent waarin Kappeyne van de Coppello de strijd aangaat met Groen van Prinsterer, 1864 1864

Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans's 1864 satirical print, "Spotprent waarin Kappeyne van de Coppello de strijd aangaat met Groen van Prinsterer," depicts a heated political debate between two prominent Dutch figures. The caricature shows Kappeyne van de Coppello, a liberal politician, charging forward with a flag emblazoned "Address and Answer," while Groen van Prinsterer, a conservative, stands defiantly with a rifle. This artwork, likely a commentary on the political climate in the Netherlands at the time, showcases Crans's sharp wit and his ability to capture the essence of political discourse through caricature.
