| Summary: |
In this political cartoon, verses are written below pictures that describe how the Bank of the United States and its wealth affects its people. Wealth is the source 'which bribes the press To support The House the Rogues built.' A sense of trickery and definite corruption occurs when the poor who built the bank were being 'gulled' by the 'aristocratical great' who in turn were affected by an act for chartering the banks, followed by a veto and those who supported it. It is a copper engraving. |
