This 1886 caricature by Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans depicts Abraham Kuyper, a Dutch theologian and politician, in a humorous light. Kuyper is shown standing next to a barrel marked with the words "Wageningsch Weekblad" and "Utrechsche Heeren," likely satirical references to political factions or publications. Kuyper's frustrated expression, clutching his head, suggests a moment of political turmoil or defeat. This satirical engraving, measuring 275 mm in height and 215 mm in width, provides a glimpse into the political climate of the Netherlands in the late 19th century.
