Werkgevers en de achturige werkdag 1900 - 1935

This caricature, titled "Werkgevers en de achturige werkdag" (Employers and the Eight-Hour Workday), created by Dutch artist Patricq Kroon between 1900 and 1935, depicts a satirical image of a wealthy employer smashing through a window labeled "8 Urige Werktijd" (Eight-Hour Workday). Kroon uses exaggerated features and a forceful pose to represent the employer's resistance to shorter working hours, reflecting a social commentary on labor relations during a time of growing labor activism. This satirical drawing is a powerful visual representation of the ongoing struggle between employers and workers in the early 20th century.
