Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: This 1904 cartoon (possibly by LWS - it looks like his work, but I see no signature) illustrates an article about Mary Monson of Kansas City who was preparing to travel back to her birthplace of Sweden, and commented that Swedish officials would be unimpressed with how plain and unadorned American passports were. She then got the clerk's permission to add a blue ribbon to her passport. The cartoon shows an American "minister" (ambassador) being turned away by a guard because his identity papers are too plain; in the second panel, guards are bowing to the minister because his identity papers are ornate. |
