This satirical cartoon, "De Hulde van het Nageslacht" (The Tribute of Posterity), created by Albert Hahn in 1907 for the Dutch weekly magazine "De Notenkraker," depicts a humorous scene of a lone figure in formal attire paying homage to a statue of Michiel Adriansz. de Ruyter, a famous Dutch admiral. Hahn's black and white illustration satirizes the reverence for historical figures and the often exaggerated gestures of national pride. The artwork is a prime example of satirical caricature and social commentary common in early 20th-century illustration.
