Summary[edit]

Description
English: Two-panel political cartoon in the Romanian liberal and nationalist magazine Ghimpele, directed against the conservative L. Catargiu cabinet.
Left side: Uite, amice, că este aprópe de copcă. Buf, şi noĭ îlŭ vomŭ moşteni. ("Look there, buddy, he is so close to the ice-hole. Splat!, and we stand to inherit his place.") Moderate conservative leader Dimitrie Ghica, in the pointed hat, and a bull-headed figure, symbolizing Vasile Boierescu (known to Ghimpele as Boŭ-erescu, approx. "Oxman"), jinxing Catargiu. Flying above, and supporting the cause, is Cezar Bolliac, shown as part-owl. He holds in his claws a brass instrument, possibly alluding to the title of his newspaper, Trompeta Carpaţilor ("The Trumpet of the Carpathians").
Right side: Prin modificarea art. 8, din codicile civile, chemaţiĭ ne spune, că orĭ cum ne putem manifesta, devenim Românĭ. Prin urmare curtându-te suntem Românĭ !!!... ("With the modification of Civil Code Article 8, the elected representatives tell us that, no matter how we manifest ourselves, me become Romanians. Therefore, when we're courting you, we are doing it as Romanians!!!...") A xenophobic comment about the proposal to extend nationality rights, which the liberals were fighting. The three figures stand for three ethnicities traditionally excluded under 19th-century Romanian law, depicted here as racial stereotypes: the payot-, kippah- and kaftan-wearing Jew, with his hooked nose; the Greek or Albanian, wearing a fustanella and a fez; and, in busby and laced uniform, the mustachioed Hungarian. They approach a horrified Romanian maid, identified by her folk costume (including a coin necklace).
