Information about the artist:
Albert Hahn Jr. (real name Albert Pieter Dijkman) (Amsterdam, 10 September 1894 – Amsterdam, 23 January 1953) was a Dutch political cartoonist, illustrator, and book cover designer. He was the son of Albert Pieter Dijkman and Iemkje Robijns, who—after her divorce in 1911—married the Groningen artist Albert Hahn Sr. (1877–1918).
On May 20, 1922, the name Dijkman was changed to Hahn Dijkman.
Albert Hahn Jr. also used the pseudonym A. Poussin (the French word for chick), as he was Hahn's (adopted) son.
-Education: Hahn Jr. received his training at the Quellinus School of Applied Arts in Amsterdam, but he also learned a lot from his stepfather.
Albert Hahn Jr. joined the SDAP on September 15, 1912. Under the pseudonym A. Poussin, he drew for De Nieuwe Amsterdammer and De Notenkraker in 1915 and illustrated children's books. After Hahn Sr.'s death, Albert Hahn Jr. became a permanent contributor to De Notenkraker until 1936. He created approximately one thousand political cartoons for De Notenkraker. He designed several posters for the SDAP, the NVV, and other organizations, as well as calendars and covers for yearbooks and brochures. He also designed several bookplates.
Besides the book "The Adventures of Don Quixote," Albert Hahn Jr. also illustrated: Charles de Coster, Tijl Uilenspiegel (1927), Selma Lagerlöf, Legends of Christ (1929), and René de Clercq, The History of Doctor Johannes Faustus (1931). He also compiled the booklet "Troelstra in the Caricature" (Amsterdam 1920), "Prints by Albert Hahn Sr." (Amsterdam 1928), and "Beauty and Society" (Amsterdam 1929).
