De Notenkraker, 28 december 1907 / Oud en Nieuw Possibly 1907 - 1928

This illustration, likely created between 1907 and 1928 by Dutch artist Albert Hahn, is a satirical depiction of the new year 1908. The image features a naked infant pushing a large, round object marked with "Algemeenen-Klericht" (General Clergy). The infant represents the new year, struggling under the weight of the clergy, while the ominous shadow of a man looms behind them. This piece is an example of satirical illustration, known for its use of humor and exaggeration to critique societal issues, in this case, the influence of the clergy.
