Verkiezingen van 1922 1922

"Verkiezingen van 1922," a 1922 political cartoon by Dutch artist Patricq Kroon, uses caricature to satirize the 1922 Dutch elections. Four political figures representing different parties are depicted surrounding a "Stembus" (ballot box), which is being manipulated by a devilish figure in the top corner. The cartoonist uses exaggerated features and labels like "Petrol" and "Miljoen" to criticize the politicians and the campaign tactics of the time. The work's title and subject matter connect it to a significant moment in Dutch political history and provides a valuable window into the visual culture of the early 20th century.
