Allgemeiner Wunsch. Tekstblad 1765 - 1833

"Allgemeiner Wunsch. Tekstblad" is a satirical broadside created by Danish artist Gerhard Ludvig Lahde between 1765 and 1833. The artwork, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, features a short, satirical text that critiques the political climate of the time. The text is presented in a simple, direct style, using humor and irony to poke fun at the various European powers and their struggles for power. Lahde's piece is an example of 18th-century satire and political commentary through printmaking, using the power of text to engage viewers in a witty and critical dialogue.
