Gerardus Johannes Bos's satirical lithograph *Maskerade van het Leidsche Studenten-Corps, 12 junij 1855 / Volksuitgaaf* (1855) portrays a beehive surrounded by stylized flowers, each labelled with satirical comments referencing the Dutch military and political landscape of the time. The image was likely created for a public audience in the Netherlands, commenting on national affairs with humorous and critical undertones. This intricate piece is a testament to Bos's keen eye for social observation and skillful use of satire.
