What you’re looking at

This appears to be a political cartoon titled "Making a Rec[ord]" from Judge magazine (copyright 1923). The image depicts figures labeled with business/trade terms being operated like a mechanical recording device by what appears to be a wealthy businessman or industrialist (right side, in top hat). The cartoon satirizes how business interests—represented by caricatured figures labeled with commercial terms—are being manipulated to produce desired "records" (likely referring to business statistics, trade reports, or public narratives). The cross in the background and general composition suggest this critiques the relationship between big business and public discourse during the 1920s. The exact identity of the central figure remains unclear without additional context, though the imagery suggests commentary on industrial power and manufactured consent.
