In this print Leopoldo Méndez employs caricature and political satire to critique Henry Lane Wilson (1857–1932), U.S. ambassador to Mexico from 1910 to 1913, and the country he represented. Wilson’s tenure coincided with the start of the revolution, in which he played an intrusive role. The ambassador opposed President Francisco I. Madero (1873–1913) and supported the attempts to depose him. For Méndez, Ambassador Wilson’s actions were representative of U.S. imperialism and interventions in Mexican affairs. Here, the artist depicts Wilson sitting at a chessboard, holding a pawn resembling General Victoriano Huerta (1850–1916) in his right hand. With his left, Wilson has casually knocked over game pieces representing President Madero and Emiliano Zapata (1879–1919). Two greedy figures with dollar signs in their eyes whisper into Wilson’s ears, representing the economic motives behind his actions.
