  1. English Cartoon Satirizing the Reverend George Whitefield • Reverend George Whitefield, the charismatic evangelist who sparked the First Great Awakening in the mainland British colonies, attracted harsh critics as well as avid admirers. Here an English cartoonist satirizes him as a money-grubbing charlatan who hoodwinks his gullible followers into believing that he is a “Pious Churchman” motivated by “Holy Zeal.” Whitefield’s crossed eyes, obvious in this image as in others, played a prominent role in contemporary depictions of him.
