[Alt-text] A political cartoon of Sir John underneath a large round weight. He holds it up with both of his hands with a deep frown. He has a light skin tone, a long hooked nose, and long black hair pulled back into a low short ponytail. He wears a dark coloured suit. The weight has words written on it that read: “Trench disapproval of Riel’s execution”. A single rope is tied around the center of the weight and hangs down the far side. A large hand with a suit sleeve reaches from behind the weight with a pair of scissors to cut it. Text along the sleeve reads: “French Vote”.
