What you’re looking at

This is a political cartoon by Victor Gillam titled "The New Boy in the International [School of Diplomacy]." The image shows military-uniformed figures (appearing to represent various European powers based on their ornate uniforms and insignia) confronting a smaller, uncertain figure on the left—likely representing a newer nation or emerging power. The caption "Why are all the new..." (text cut off) suggests the cartoon satirizes how established diplomatic powers treat newcomers to international affairs. The "School of Diplomacy" setting indicates commentary on international relations and power dynamics. The intimidating stance of the uniformed figures toward the hesitant new arrival suggests mockery of how inexperienced nations face pressure or hazing from established powers in diplomatic circles. The exact historical context and identities remain unclear without the complete caption and date.
