1859

Wood engraving

Punch (3 December 1859)

Pio Nono. “I want-a to go to Ley-Chestera Squarra!”

Like Humpty Dumpty, this caricature refers to the perilous state of Pio Nono (Pius IX) and the papacy during years when he considered seeking asylum outside Italy after the Risorgimentotook away — or freed — the papal states, making them part of modern Italy.
