What you’re looking at

This political cartoon depicts a caricatured figure in military dress at Ormond Beach, standing beside an early racing automobile. The figure wears a crown labeled "KING OF" and appears to be a personification of some authority or leader being mocked. The caption reads: "YOUNG MAN; YOU BEAT ME." The satire appears to target automotive speed records or racing competitions at Ormond Beach, a famous early venue for land-speed trials. The "king" figure—likely representing an established record holder or racing authority—is being humbled by a younger competitor who has surpassed previous achievements. Without additional context about the magazine's date or specific racing events referenced, I cannot identify the exact historical figures or records being satirized, though the cartoon clearly mocks the displacement of established dominance by new technological achievement.
