What you’re looking at

This satirical cartoon depicts various figures engaged in what appears to be a chaotic "big game" hunt or competition. A sphere labeled "Equal Rights for the Negro" sits prominently, suggesting the cartoon addresses racial politics. The composition shows multiple caricatured figures—some appearing to represent different political or national interests—pursuing this objective with varying degrees of effort and sincerity. The "Roosevelt's Big Game" notation suggests this relates to Theodore Roosevelt's policies. The cartoon appears to satirize the competing interests and hypocritical approaches various political actors took toward civil rights, presenting the pursuit of equal rights as a chaotic, poorly-coordinated spectacle rather than a genuine commitment. The style and content are consistent with early 20th-century American political commentary in *Judge* magazine.
