Waar de Hollandsche aardappels gebleven zijn... 1914 - 1918

"Waar de Hollandsche aardappelen gebleven zijn..." is a satirical cartoon by Willem van Schaik, created during World War I (1914-1918). The cartoon depicts three German soldiers, one of whom is stuffing himself with potatoes, while the others watch on. The title, which translates to "Where have the Dutch potatoes gone...", is a pointed commentary on the German occupation of the Netherlands during the war. This satirical piece exemplifies the use of caricature in political cartoons to criticize wartime actions and resource shortages. The use of sharp lines and exaggerated features in the drawing emphasizes the absurdity of the situation.
