Nella vignetta satirica del «Punch» l’Italia indossa il berretto frigio e volge affranta le spalle a Garibaldi, mentre il generale le consegna la spada. Il riferimento è alla fallita presa di Roma e al ferimento in Aspromonte. In calce: “On the 29th of August Garibaldi, leading a band of patriotic enthusiasts to attempt the capture of Rome for Italy, was opposed by the Italian troops at Aspromonte, where he was wounded and taken prisoner – September,
1862”.
