Friedrich Graetz, 1912

• ... that the flag "Freedom of thought" in Friedrich Graetz' (pictured) political cartoon "An appalling attempt to muzzle the watch-dog of science" (1883) emphasizes the importance of independent scientific inquiry? Source
  • ALT1:... that because Friedrich Graetz (pictured) spoke little English, the context for proposed cartoons for Puck had to be precisely described to him by a German-speaking staff member? Source: Satire on Stone: The Political Cartoons of Joseph Keppler, "Friedrich Graetz... worked for Puck from 1882 to 1885. He could not speak English and drew his cartoons under the supervision of one of the German-speaking staff members." (more details on page 238, not accessible online). Source: Zimmerman, 'Graetz did not "speak English, which made it difficult for him to understand American humor, so I shared his stall in the art department and acted as interpreter. All..."'

• This interesting article is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain, the hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ is needed and the tags need to be attended to. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:34, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

• @Cwmhiraeth: QPQ completed, concerns addressed; new ALT2 suggested since another editor raised concerns about the original ALT. Thank you for your reviews, Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 04:45, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
• ALT2:... that in the political cartoon "An appalling attempt to muzzle the watch-dog of science" (1883) Friedrich Graetz (pictured) portrayed Herbert Spencer as a monumental dog? Source: 'An appalling attempt to muzzle the watch-dog of science / F. Graetz... Illustration shows Herbert Spencer as a statue of a large dog at the entrance to a public building emitting rays of light labeled "Science"'

• Thank you. Let's go with ALT2 then. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:09, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
