What you’re looking at

This appears to be a late 19th-century political cartoon from *Judge* magazine satirizing American political figures and interests. The central scene shows caricatured men in formal dress examining or discussing what appear to be territorial or political claims (visible on banners/documents they're holding). The kite or banner suspended above bears text suggesting Baltimore interests or claims. One figure on the right holds what appears to be a "Fisheries" document. The caption "Saw Wood and Say No" (partially visible) suggests a commentary on political maneuvering or duplicitous behavior—appearing to work while actually obstructing progress. The exaggerated facial features and formal dress suggest mockery of politicians or political stakeholders negotiating territorial, commercial, or diplomatic matters, likely from the 1890s based on the artistic style.
