This article analyzes a significant caricature published in El Gallo Pitagórico, a book written and printed respectively by Juan Bautista Morales and Ignacio Cumplido in 1845. Viewed from a political context, the caricature promotes the interests of the moderate liberal group to which both belonged and reflects the tensions they experienced when confronting Santa Anna and his advocates in an environment of political uncertainty.
