J.F. Clemens's satirical engraving, *Den potuanske borger, der har foreslaaet titlernes afskaffelse, føres i triumf* (The Potuan Citizen Who Proposed the Abolition of Titles is Led in Triumph) from 1786-1788 depicts a humorous scene where a group of individuals are transformed into trees. This artwork is a commentary on the absurdity of titles and hierarchies, using visual metaphor to highlight the artist's perspective on societal structures. The image, currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, is a fine example of 18th-century Danish satirical art and provides insight into social commentary of the time.
