A man labeled “Spanish War Party,” wearing a military uniform and holding a large knife, is about to sacrifice the “Youth of Spain” to a huge monument labeled “False Pride” with a large sword labeled “Colonial Oppression.” On the ground to the left of the sacrificial bier are bags of “Revenue” and “Taxes,” and kneeling in the foreground is the “Queen Regent”, holding a bag, with her right arm on the shoulders of “Alphonso XIII.”
