Gerhard Ludvig Lahde's satirical print *Den Virksomste af de 3000 Verier* from 1807 depicts a figure with a tail and claws, standing in flames, with a broom and a burning torch. The print is a commentary on the political situation in Denmark at the time. The figure, representing the Danish people, is shown as being active and engaged in the fight against the Danish government. The print is a humorous and satirical look at the political climate of the time and would have been recognized by the Danish public.
