This one's quite well known now and depicts The Irish Frankenstein (Punch 1886)
Monsters and banking seem to be happy bedfellows in the satirist's imagination:
"Jackson slays the many-headed monster of the Second Bank of the United States (1836)"
I suspect in the next example it's the victim that looks more disturbing than the smiling monster.
(The Banker runs off with the nation's wealth?)
