Politieke spotprent, 1882 1882

Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans’s 1882 "Politieke spotprent" is a satirical cartoon depicting two women representing the seasons Summer and Autumn. Summer, holding an umbrella, is dressed in a long coat while Autumn, with an umbrella in her hand, is wearing a shorter dress with frills. The caption reads: "Summer: Brrr! What weather! I am so much too early; I am tired of the cold. Autumn: I don’t agree with you at all; I love the weather, not at all like Summer!". This humorous work is a fine example of 19th-century Dutch caricature.
