Spotprent nav het wetsontwerp tot beperking van vergaderingen en optochten, 1886 1886

"Spotprent nav het wetsontwerp tot beperking van vergaderingen en optochten, 1886" is a satirical cartoon created by Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans in 1886. It depicts a figure in a carriage, possibly a regent, being confronted by a crowd. The caption "Meneer de regent, Je handelt zelf tegen het reglement" translates to "Sir, the regent, You are acting against the rules yourself." The cartoon likely critiques the inconsistency of the law in enforcing its own regulations, using humor to highlight the absurdity of the situation. The artwork's black and white style, reminiscent of traditional satirical prints, adds to the sharp commentary.
