Burgemeester verbiedt Heijermans Allerzielen 1904 - 1905

Patricq Kroon's 1904-1905 satirical cartoon, "Burgemeester verbiedt Heijermans Allerzielen", depicts a caricatured mayor writing an order to ban a play by the Dutch writer Herman Heijermans. This black and white drawing uses exaggerated features and sharp lines to convey the mayor's overbearing and arrogant nature, mocking his power and authority. The image is full of visual details: a rolled-up playbill, a pen and inkwell, and the inscription "Burgemeester" alongside the mayor's exaggerated profile, which add to the satire and make this a piece of political commentary.
