This print shows a giant, grinning figure wearing a U.S. dollar sign as a shield. Behind him are two cannons, and he’s standing on a map with Central American countries labeled. Below, two small, exhausted people kneel on the ground, looking up at him. The text at the bottom reads *"Por Luis y Antonio y los que siempre luchan... hasta la victoria siempre"*—a tribute to fallen revolutionaries. The dollar shield and cannons mix money and military power in a sharp way. Want to see more of Sue Coe’s work?
