"Spotprent" is a satirical cartoon by Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans, created in 1878. The drawing depicts three men pushing a large, round object inscribed with "NIEUWE PARTIJ" (New Party). Crans uses humor to comment on political developments, a popular theme for artists of the time. The work is drawn in pen and ink, showcasing Crans's detailed style and ability to capture the essence of a political situation through caricature. This small-scale drawing is an example of 19th-century political satire and offers a glimpse into Dutch society during a period of significant political change.
