ZONDAGSBLAD VAN HET VOLK - SUNDAY SHEET OF THE PEOPLE
NEGENDE JAARGANG NUMMER 27 - NINTH YEAR NUMBER 27

De Notenkraker (Dutch: "The Nutcracker") was a Dutch political and satirical weekly magazine published between 1907 and 1936.

In 1902 Het Zondagsblad appeared for the first time, a Sunday supplement to the newspaper Het Volk of the Social Democratic Workers' Party (Dutch acronym: SDAP). In 1907 the supplement was renamed De Notenkraker. Unlike Het Volk, which contained mostly heavy political articles with few illustrationS, De Notenkraker contained many cartoons and other illustrations. Famous cartoonistS from the early period of the periodical included Leendert Jordaan and Albert Hahn (1877-1918). Hahn drew cartoons against the Dutch monarchy and Abraham Kuyper (prime minister 1901-1905 and founder of the Anti-Revolutionary Party). The magazine covered topics such as poverty, the trade union movement and universal suffrage. By the beginning of World War One in 1914, many cartoons criticized militarism and war. 

It was originally made as 1 huge page measuring approximately 19 1/2" x 27 1/2" - folded in half and then in half again, so the magazine is 10" x 13 1/2". It is an 8 page (4 pages front and back) newspaper/magazine. There is also a fold across the middle of the paper - running from side to side.

The paper is in Fair condition. There is wear to the paper - there are many creases and tears along the edges. The paper is wrinkled in some places. The over 100 year old paper also suffers from some staining, browning, foxing and spotting. There are tears down the creases/folds and the corners are folded.  

A great opportunity for any collector or history buff to own a true piece of history!
