Related Names:
Bouton, A. M.
Date Created/Published: 1835.
Summary: An anti-religious satire attacking most of the major denominations of the nineteenth century, including Catholics, Episcopalians, Calvinists, Universalists, Methodists, Baptists, and Quakers. The artist parodies their respective religious beliefs and/or forms of intolerance. A chimera-like beast is shown, with seven heads, each representing one denomination. It also has wings, a forked fishtail, and the leg of a human. The various heads speak. Pope of Rome: 'Heretical! Heterogeneal! Heterodox! I! am what I am!' Episcopalians: 'Exterminate the Heretics!' Calvinists: 'The Degree of Fate has fixed our Destinies.' Universalists: 'God will not punish us for what he does therefore we shall all be saved.' Methodists: 'Glory! We ha'nt got much larnin. Glory.' Baptists: 'I must be immersed or I shall be Damned.' Friends or Quakers: We are Friends to all but the Heterodox.' Below the title are lines from the Book of Revelation, 'The Beast that was, and is not, and yet is.'
