Patience Monsignor Your Turn Will Come

Print of cartoons attacking the clergy
Sketch of print of cartoon

Annotation

Cartoons attacked the refractory clergy. Here, fat, overfed, and underworked clergy are squeezed down to an appropriate size. As elsewhere, visual images mocked the clergy by depicting them as subject to the threats and physical attacks of others.

1790, Bibliothèque Nationale de France
