"Spotprent op de zware financiële belasting op het land door grote werken aan de infrastructuur" is a satirical cartoon created by Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans in 1860. The cartoon depicts a lion, representing the Dutch people, chained and forced to carry heavy weights labeled "Spoorwegen" (railways) and "Water Wegen" (waterways) while holding a shovel. The cartoon criticizes the heavy financial burden of large infrastructure projects on the country, a common theme in political cartoons of the time.
