Black and white caricature of two witch-like figures stirring a fire under a cauldron marked 2e Kamer, with devils and faces rising from the steam and a black cat.

Drs. Hermanus Schaepman and Abraham Kuyper, shown as witches, stoke the fire of a cauldron from which emanate devils; symbolising their struggle to institute suffrage, against prevailing resistance in the Dutch second chamber. Reproduction of a lithograph after Van Geldorp, 1901.
