Todo el asunto
1904
Here we see Theodore Roosevelt stuffed inside a patchwork elephant costume labeled 'Republican Party,' complete with a smoking fuse on its head and a sword at its side! Created in 1904 by Grant Hamilton, this political cartoon riffs on the famous Republican elephant symbol originally popularized by Thomas Nast. Roosevelt's face peeks out from the neck, implying he has completely taken over the party's identity. With the U.S. Capitol in the background and firecrackers sparking at the elephant's feet, the image captures the explosive, high-energy tension of his presidency.
