Spotprent op het ultramontanisme en de grondwet, 1871 1871

"Spotprent op het ultramontanisme en de grondwet" (1871), a satirical cartoon by Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans, depicts a political debate regarding the Dutch constitution. It portrays a woman holding a book titled "Grondwet 1848", referencing the Dutch constitution, while a man, likely a representative of the Catholic Church, holds a newspaper with the word "Katholieke" visible. This caricature, published in the Dutch periodical "Toren van Babel", humorously comments on the political and religious conflicts surrounding the 1848 Constitution, which faced resistance from the Catholic Church.
