Spotprent in Leidse studentenalmanak, 1844, 1844 anonymous
In the dead of night, a student is depicted slumbering on the eve of his exams, tormented by figures from a nightmare. The light from Professor C.J. van Assen's lantern illuminates the student's face, revealing his torment. Behind him lurks the university beadle and a host of laughing devils, adding a sinister touch to the scene. This satirical cartoon hails from the 1844 student almanac of Leiden University.
