Spotprent over de grondwetsherziening, 1886 1886

This 1886 caricature by Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans is a satirical depiction of the Dutch politician Motie Keuchenius. It uses text from Shakespeare's Hamlet to express the satirical message of the image, as it depicts Keuchenius as a conflicted and indecisive figure, seemingly frozen between two choices. The image is characteristic of the satirical and political cartoons popular in the 19th century, and is a good example of the use of humor to comment on political issues.
