The cartoon shows a figure in a dressing room beside discarded garments labelled with the names of named public figures and with 'Impostos' (taxes), a cigar marked 'Regie' and the caption calling the government 'o tragico palhaço governamental' (the tragic government clown). The tell is the loaded label 'clown' applied to a government and the name-tagged props standing in for argument. ## Text on the object Original (Portuguese) · read from the image, not independently checked ``` A Choldra Semanario republicano de combate e de critica á vida nacional Ano I — Num. 14 Preço 1 Escudo Telefone: Trindade 527 Director — Eduardo de Sousa Proprietario-Administrador — José Valentim Editor — Henrique Jorge Didelet Red. e Administ. — R. do Poço dos Negros, 86, 3.º — LISBOA 1 de Maio de 1926 Oficinas Graficas Rua do Seculo, 150 ANTES DE APARECER EM PUBLICO [labels in the drawing] O CASACO DO SR.
