Linggadjati Slide

This political cartoon by Eppo Doeve illustrates key Dutch political figures navigating the complexities of the Linggadjati Agreement and the Dutch-Indonesian Round Table Conference. Featuring prominent individuals such as Wim Schermerhorn, Jan Jonkman, Huib van Mook, and Willem Drees Sr., the drawing metaphorically depicts the political ‘slide’ toward decolonization and treaty negotiations between the Netherlands and Indonesia.
