Abraham Kuyper as a Cucumber
Cartoon by Albert Hahn in Zondagsblad van Het Volk, 5 August 1906
BG H4/454
Dutch Prime Minister Abraham Kuyper was born in Maassluis (1837) and paid an official visit to this town on 28 July 1906. In one of his speeches he recalled some nostalgic memories from his childhood. Cartoonist Albert Hahn thought these were trivial, only fit for news during cucumber time. On 5 August 1906 he portrayed Kuyper as a cucumber in the Sunday magazine of Het Volk.
