Description: Daily Graphic (New York) (34:3493), front cover. Full-page editorial cartoon by Miranda, showing well-off families leaving on vacation, luggage labeled Saratoga, Newport, and Europe, with a young girl giving money to a nun collecting for the poor. An example of Miranda's style and of sympathetic presentation of religious charity. This era has plenty of anti-Catholic cartoons, often mocking donations to the church as going for corruption or terrorism. Since the Daily Graphic cover of March 27, 1884, by F. J. Willson (here #4501) is critical of anti-Catholic bias, it suggests that Daily Graphic might have been particularly sensitive on this issue and sympathetic to Roman Catholicism. Hansen database #4498
