"De Notenkraker, 29 juni 1907 / Verkiezingsdroom van een man Gods" is a satirical cartoon by Albert (I) Hahn, published in the Dutch weekly magazine "De Notenkraker" in 1907. The cartoon depicts a man in bed dreaming about a group of people hanging a man from a lamppost, with the caption "Hang op, hang op, hang op. Hang Troelstra aan een lantaarn." This is a clear political commentary on the Dutch elections of 1907, where the socialist leader Pieter Jelles Troelstra was a prominent figure. The cartoon, drawn in a black-and-white style with a focus on caricature, serves as a powerful example of satirical art used in political commentary, effectively highlighting the social and political tensions of the time.
