What you’re looking at
This political cartoon depicts a compass or navigation instrument positioned over a map of the United States, appearing to point toward the White House. The caption references landing "at the WHITE-HOUSE for another FOUR years," suggesting this cartoon advocates for a political figure's re-election to a second presidential term. The navigation metaphor—with the compass as a "wind-up" mechanism—implies the subject is being guided or directed toward electoral victory. Various labeled objects in the upper left appear to represent different political forces or influences. Without a visible date or clearer identifying details, I cannot definitively name which president or election this references, though the "four years" language indicates a re-election campaign. The Judge magazine context suggests this is pro-administration satire from the late 19th or early 20th century.
