Coney Island and the crowned heads
Uncle Sam welcomes several heads of state labeled “Pan-Slavism, Nihilism, Socialism, Pauperism, Communism [represented by Marianne], Fenianism, Mormonism [wearing a fez], [and] Spain” to a swim at Coney Island. They have emerged from bathhouses labeled “Austria, Russia, Germany, Italy, France, [and] England” and stand in the water. Caption: Why shouldn’t the wearied monarchs of Europe enjoy a plunge in our republican waters?
