This work investigates the emergence of modern political satire by analyzing the visual and textual contributions of Dutch artist Romeyn de Hooghe during the late 17th century. Meredith Mcneill Hale, an art historian, utilizes a rigorous examination of de Hooghe’s broadsheets and pamphlets to argue that his work fundamentally altered the relationship between political imagery and public discourse. By situating de Hooghe within the context of the Glorious Revolution and the rise of William III, the author demonstrates how satire became a potent instrument for shaping public opinion and challenging monarchical authority.
