TORRE HERNANDEZ, Alejandro de la. The bestiary of the ‘Empiorador.’ Notes on republican caricature during the Intervention and the Second Empire. Hist. mex. [online]. 2015, vol.65, n.2, pp.689-718. ISSN 2448-6531.
This article explores some of the most significant examples of republican caricature during the epoch of the French Intervention and the Second Empire. It places particular emphasis on the representation of the monsters and zoomorphic creatures that inhabited the collective imagination of political satirists in the middle of the 19th Century, analyzing the use of these images as crucial elements for propaganda, political struggle and the clash of differing visions of national development. The article also includes an iconographic review of the unique gallery of deformities that served as critical portraits of the political scene and society in general, while also providing a moral judgment on the nation’s convulsive situation.
