"Metro" is a satirical cartoon published in the Dutch underground newspaper of the same name in June 1945. The cartoon depicts a group of men, likely representing the newly formed Dutch government, being handed a suitcase by a young man, possibly symbolizing the difficulties and responsibilities that lay ahead. The image uses a simple, line-based style common in political cartoons of the time, and the text in Dutch adds to the humor and social commentary. This artwork offers a unique insight into the political climate of post-war Netherlands.
