De Notenkraker, 26 oktober 1907 / Na de vredesconferentie Possibly 1907 - 1926

"Na de Vredesconferentie" (After the Peace Conference) is a satirical cartoon by Albert (I) Hahn, a Dutch artist known for his political cartoons. Created between 1907 and 1926, the cartoon depicts a soldier in Roman armor entering a room, holding the "Slotakte Vredesconferentie Kenteken" (Final Act of the Peace Conference Document). Hahn's work often satirized political events and figures, and this cartoon likely critiques the aftermath of a peace conference. The use of black and white linework and simple forms characterizes this style of graphic art. The humor in the artwork stems from the visual contrast between the soldier's traditional armor and the modern setting, highlighting the absurdity of war. The cartoon, published in "De Notenkraker," a Dutch weekly magazine, likely resonated with its audience during a time of political and social change.
