Minister Aalberse en de werkgever 1918 - 1925

"Minister Aalberse en de werkgever" is a satirical cartoon created by Dutch artist Patricq Kroon between 1918 and 1925. The piece depicts a caricature of a politician, Minister Aalberse, being choked by a larger, more powerful figure representing the employer. A banner, reading "ARBEIDS-WETGEVING" (Labor Legislation), is wrapped around the employer's arm and the top hat of the employer has a label that reads "WERKGEVERSBOND," (Employers Association). Kroon's work often used humor and exaggeration to address social and political issues of his time. This cartoon likely critiques the power dynamics between labor and management in the post-World War I era.
