What you’re looking at

This political cartoon satirizes the opening of a metaphorical "Pandora's box" of troubles. A demonic or mischievous figure operates a large cannon or pipe labeled with references to "Woodrow" (likely President Wilson) and various social ills. The cannon shoots destructive force toward figures on the right, including what appears to be caricatured political opponents or representatives of different factions. The title references the Greek myth where opening Pandora's box releases all evils into the world. The cartoon warns that certain political actions will unleash uncontrollable consequences. The character saying "the worst will be yet to come" emphasizes this ominous prophecy about escalating chaos from the opened "lid." The exact political context remains unclear without dating information, but this appears to critique Wilson-era policies or decisions perceived as dangerously destabilizing.
