Albert Hahn (1877–1918) was a Dutch political cartoonist, caricaturist, poster artist and book cover designer; well known for his socialist and antimilitaristic viewpoints. Some of his drawings, especially those of the railroad strikes of 1903, have been regularly used in history textbooks. His adopted son, Albert Hahn jr., was also an artist, so he is sometimes referred to as “Sr.”.
After the beginning of World War I, his works dealt almost exclusively with denouncing the needless death and destruction. He died in 1918, just before the end of the war. Over his career, he produced more than 4,000 drawings. A major retrospective of his work was held at the Nederlands Persmuseum in 2000.
Here below is a set of amazing posters illustrated by Albert Hahn in the early 20th century.
