Albert Hirschfeld

The Last Parliament
1939

A detailed black and white illustration depicting a courtroom scene filled with anthropomorphic creatures wearing gas masks. The judge, also wearing a gas mask, is seated at a high bench, while a cloud of smoke envelops the central figure, who appears to be addressing the court. Spectators and jurors, all in gas masks, fill the room, creating a surreal and dystopian atmosphere. The artwork is titled "The Jury Deliberates."
