This 1920 broadsheet by Manuel Manilla satirizes Don Luis Cabrera, a Mexican politician, by depicting him in a top hat and calling him "the scourge of the nation." The artwork, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, features a poem that criticizes Cabrera's policies, highlighting his perceived corruption and abuse of power. The sheet’s design combines text and images, a common format for satirical prints of the time.
