'The Next Refugee, or a Drheam of the Futur', 1859. 'Pro Nono I want-a, to go to Ley-chesterra Squarra!' Pope Pius IX, clutching his shopping basket like a housewife, with his umbrella and box of relics, asking a city gent the way to Leicester Square. This may be to do with the recent revolution in the papal state of Romagna which had been sparked by demands of union with Piedmont. It may also be a reflection of the constant concern that the Catholic Church may make renewed efforts to gain a more solid foothold in English religious affairs. To this end, the Pope, and thus the Catholic Church generally, are depicted in a uniformly comic fashion, complete with 'frock', slippers and accent. From Punch, or the London Charivari, December 3, 1859. (Photo by The Cartoon Collector/Print Collector/Getty Images)
