Summary

[edit]
Description
English: DE LA PITESCI LA FLORICA SI VICE-VERSA ("FROM PITE[Ş]TI TO FLORICA AND VICE VERSA"), cartoon poking fun at Ion Brătianu, the Premier of Romania. According to a poem published alongside the drawing, Brătianu had come to fear for his life, and spend as little time as possible outside secured buildings. Here, he is shown traveling, under heavy guard, between his estate of Florica (Ştefăneşti) and the nearby train station of Piteşti. Bobârnacul claimed that national police resources were wasted on the Premier's paranoid insecurity: police officials drive and pull his carriage; a Pickelhaube-wearing cortege bears shields inscribed Păzitori regelui de Florica ("Guards of the King of Florica").
