De Notenkraker, 8 juni 1907 / De Staten-verkiezingen Possibly 1907

This 1907 political cartoon by Albert (I) Hahn, titled "De Staten-verkiezingen," depicts a satirical take on the Dutch elections. The image shows a large figure, representing the Dutch people, attempting to free a smaller figure symbolizing the government from a chain, while another man pulls the government figure back towards a block labeled "1ste Kamer" (First Chamber). This humorous visual commentary on the state of Dutch politics is a powerful example of satirical art, effectively using visual symbolism to critique the political landscape of the time.
