from Thorheiten 1901

"from Thorheiten" is a satirical cartoon by German artist Thomas Theodor Heine, created in 1901. The cartoon depicts a scene of a man in a top hat and tails, kissing a young woman's hand while a group of onlookers looks on. Heine, known for his biting wit and social commentary, uses this image to humorously expose the hypocrisy and shallowness of high society. The black and white cartoon with elements of color uses strong lines and exaggerated features to highlight the absurdity of the situation.
