Title: 'Poor Spain!' / Keppler.
Creator(s): Keppler, Udo J., 1872-1956, artist
Date Created/Published: N.Y. : Published by Keppler & Schwarzmann, 1898 March 2.
Summary: Print shows a head labeled 'Cuban Moloch', which is probably meant to suggest a demonic figure, with it's mouth open wide to swallow a flotilla of Spanish ships headed toward Cuba; a frightened young King Alfonso XIII of Spain cowers on a throne in the lower right corner among mounting 'Debts', an empty strong box, a broken sword labeled 'Spain', orb, scepter, and a tattered Spanish flag. The 'Moloch' reaches a hand out, across the ocean, toward the still child-like Alfonso.
