Gedonder boven de Conferentie van Genua, 1922 1922

"Gedonder boven de Conferentie van Genua, 1922" is a 1922 satirical cartoon by Dutch artist Patricq Kroon. The cartoon depicts the 1922 Genoa Conference, with the heads of Germany, Russia, and France personified as clouds, looming over a small figure representing Europe holding a "Pax" sign and an umbrella. Kroon utilizes caricature to criticize the political climate of the time, suggesting that the world leaders are the source of instability and unrest. The cartoon's use of black and white and its simple, yet powerful, imagery makes it a potent commentary on the state of post-World War I Europe.
