The prairie dog sickened at the sting of the hornet or a dip
The prairie dog sickened at the sting of the hornet or a diplomatic puppet exhibiting his deceptions. James Akins earliest-known signed cartoon, The Prairie Dog is an anti-Jefferson satire, relating to Jeffersons covert negotiations for the purchase of West Florida from Spain in 1804. Jefferson, as a scrawny dog, is stung by a hornet with Napoleons head into coughing up Two Millions in gold coins, (the secret appropriation Jefferson sought from Congress for the purchase). On the right dances a man (possibly a French diplomat) with orders from French minister Talleyrand in his pocket and maps of East Florida and West Florida in his hand. He says, A gull for the People.. Date 1804. The prairie dog sickened at the sting of the hornet or a diplomatic puppet exhibiting his deceptions.
