Spotprent op C. Seyn 1817 - 1896

This satirical print, created sometime between 1817 and 1896 by an anonymous artist, is a visual commentary on society. The artwork depicts a series of vignettes, each with a symbolic meaning. One scene features a man baking bread, representing hard work and sustenance. Another depicts a man with a top hat holding books, symbolizing education and knowledge. A peacock with its tail feathers spread stands proudly, representing vanity and social standing. These elements combined suggest a critique of social hierarchies and the pursuit of superficial values. The print is a testament to the power of satire and the enduring relevance of social commentary.
