Spotprent op het voorstel om de provinciale gerechtshoven te vervangen, 1873 1873

"Spotprent op het voorstel om de provinciale gerechtshoven te vervangen" is an 1873 satirical illustration by Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans. The illustration depicts a group of men, possibly judges, standing before a blindfolded figure of Justice, who holds a scale. The inscription on the bottom of the image suggests the scene is about a proposed replacement of the provincial courts in the Netherlands. The satirical nature of the artwork, including the blindfolded Justice and the judges' expressions, likely reflects a critical viewpoint on the proposed judicial changes. This sketch is a valuable example of Dutch political cartoons of the 19th century.
