Elisha Roosevelt Here are a couple more biblical TR (moderns don't realize these were made in ridicule not adoration):







My favorite, which was published in the NYT in 1911/12, and which I can't seem to find in my files, is of TR coming back from the dead as Lazarus to run for president in 1912.

Thanks to both of you. I had been ignorant of these and posted the cartoon above obliviously.

Some wag at Puck knew Scripture and could apply it.

Puck's business was skewering people . . . they were good at it.

Of course, people were much more Biblically literate in those days!
