Siglo XIX · España / América
Colección: Hispanismo
This 1894 political cartoon from "The American" depicts a kneeling man (symbolizing the U.S.) offering money to a clergyman (representing the Catholic Church), who is seated on a throne before the U.S. Capitol. The title, "WASHINGTON IS THE LAY OF HOME," is a pun suggesting Washington has become the Church's domain. The work critiques the perceived influence of the Catholic Church in American politics at the time.
