De Notenkraker, 13 juli 1907 / Sam. van Houten uitgesmeten Possibly 1907

This is a caricature from the Dutch satirical magazine *De Notenkraker* (The Nutcracker) by Albert Hahn, published in 1907. The artwork shows a man being forcibly removed from a building by a policeman. The man is identified as Sam. van Houten, likely a public figure at the time. The caption above the artwork reads "Sam. van Houten uitgesmeten." (Sam. van Houten thrown out.) This drawing, like many of Hahn's works, uses humor to critique society and politics, with satirical elements like the exaggerated features and the man's expression. The use of satire and the emphasis on public figures are key characteristics of the Dutch *De Notenkraker*, which is a prominent example of political satire in the early 20th century.
