Raemaekers is never false, and he never works for effect alone. That
is what makes him so terrible to the people he criticises, and so
effective.
When he wants to depict the sturdy Dutch soul he draws a sturdy Dutch
Body--ready to defend her home. No flags, no highfalutin, no symbolical
figure posed for show; just cleanliness, determination, and good sense
facing bestiality and oppression.
The figure that stands for the Freedom of the Home opposed to the
figure that stands for the Freedom of the Seas.
Many an Englishman might take this picture to heart.
