"Spotprent op Busken Huet en de Javabode," an 1869 caricature by Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans, depicts a satirical scene involving Dutch journalist Busken Huet.

A figure representing "Java" sits on the floor, highlighting the colonial context of the artwork. The image humorously criticizes Huet's journalistic work and his relationship with the Dutch colonial regime in Java.
