This satirical print from 1886 by Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans depicts a caricature of Dutch politician, J. Heemskerk, riding a penny-farthing bicycle. The large wheel of the bicycle is labeled with "LIBERAL" and "ANTI-LIBERAL", highlighting the political climate of the time. This satirical artwork is a humorous commentary on the growing popularity of cycling and its relationship to political discourse, showcasing Crans's talent for capturing the social and political zeitgeist.
