Ion Theodorescu-Sion - Asanarea moravurilor. Rezultatul razziei făcută de comisari, Furnica, 17 sep 1909
Summary
Asanarea moravurilor. Rezultatul razziei făcută de comisari ("Moral Purification. The Result of the Commissioners' Raid"). Cartoon satirizing the clampdown on illegal prostitution in Bucharest, Romania. Instead of being arrested, the women party at the precinct; the one on the the far left, wearing a regulation kepi and ceremonial sword, entertains the audience with her impression of a policeman. Her speech bubble reads: Trăească Dl. Prefect ("Long live Mr. the Prefect").
