Obstructie tegen de anti-revolutie wet 1920 - 1930

This is Patricq Kroon's drawing "Obstruction against the anti-revolution law." The central image is that of a dragon, its body inscribed with the words "Anti-Revolution Law," under attack by men throwing bombs. Dragons appear throughout history, symbols of chaos, but also the guardians of treasure and wisdom. This monstrous figure in Kroon's work evokes the ancient serpent of myth, embodying a primal fear of societal upheaval. Note, however, how the dragon is assaulted with 'bombs of obstruction' -- a motif that appears across time, embodying the struggle against perceived tyranny. It echoes the myth of the hero battling the dragon, yet here, it's a collective effort against what is seen as a regressive force. The psychological depth of this image lies in its appeal to the collective memory of resistance, a primal urge to protect societal progress. The non-linear progression of this symbol, from ancient myth to modern political cartoon, reveals the cyclical nature of history and the enduring human quest for societal advancement.
