De Man in 't Hembd, of de Gefnuikte Hoogmoed (The Man in His Shirt, or Deflated Pride)

This Dutch engraving satirizes English military defeat during the American Revolution through a scene of rough street justice. A barefoot figure in a shirt is stripped, beaten, and humiliated by a crowd of working-class figures, their numbered bodies keyed to an explanatory caption below. The print exemplifies the political cartoon tradition descending from Hogarth and flowering in Gillray and Rowlandson—using bodily indignity and public shame to mock foreign adversaries and national pride. The crude engraving style, numbered key system, and vernacular Dutch text place it within the popular Bilderbogen broadsheet tradition, making satirical commentary accessible to ordinary readers. National caricature here traffics in class-based depiction of both perpetrators and victim.
