Antioorlogsdag 1924 1924

"Antioorlogsdag 1924" (1924) is a black and white caricature by Dutch artist Patricq Kroon. The artwork satirizes the 1924 Anti-War Day, a campaign against war, by portraying political figures as drummers beating the drums of "Disarmament" ("Ontwapening"), "Security" ("Veiligheid"), and "Arbitration". The use of caricature accentuates the absurdity of the situation and emphasizes the artist's critique of war and its proponents. The presence of text helps viewers understand the context of the cartoon, which provides social commentary and highlights the artist's perspective on a significant historical event.
