Spotprent over de aanstaande verkiezingen, 1884 1884

This 1884 political cartoon by Johan Michaël Schmidt Crans depicts two figures, one labeled "Ultramontaan" and the other "Antirevolutionair", watching two figures riding donkeys in the distance. The figures on the donkeys carry flags with slogans for the upcoming elections. The cartoon uses humor to comment on the political climate of the time, specifically the division between Ultramontane and Antirevolutionary political groups. The artwork's visual language is evocative, using the symbolism of donkeys to represent the different political factions. This political cartoon provides a glimpse into Dutch politics during the 19th century.
