English: "An appalling attempt to muzzle the watch-dog of science", political cartoon by Friedrich Graetz (April 3, 1842, Frankfurt am Main - November 28, 1912 Vienna, Austria)
Caption: "The Society for the Suppression of Blasphemous Literature proposes to get up cases against Professors Huxley and Tyndall, Herbert Spencer, and others who, by their writings have sown widespread unbelief, and in some cases rank atheism" Herbert Spencer is portrayed as a statue of a large dog before the entrance to a public building from which shine rays of light labeled "Science". He is surrounded by tiny men with oversized top hats, ladders and muzzles, presumably attempting to silence Spencer's views on religion and science. On a nearby flagpole hangs a banner that states "Freedom of Thought". This cartoon was published in PUCK Magazine, v. 13, no. 314, (1883 March 14). The cartoonist Friedrich Graetz worked for PUCK magazine from 1882-1885. |
