De Notenkraker, 1 juni 1907 / De redding Possibly 1907

"De Redding," a 1907 illustration by Albert (I) Hahn for the Dutch satirical magazine "De Notenkraker," depicts a man stranded on a raft being rescued by a large ship, perhaps symbolizing the Dutch government. The illustration was published on June 1st, 1907, and uses a nautical metaphor to comment on the political landscape of the time. Hahn's use of graphic lines and stark contrasts creates a dramatic and humorous scene, highlighting the absurdity of political situations. This satirical illustration is a unique window into the Dutch political climate of the early 20th century.
