What you’re looking at
This appears to be a satirical cartoon about labor or trade disputes, likely from the early 20th century based on the art style and automobiles depicted. The image shows two cars meeting on a road: one appears to be a wealthy person's vehicle (suggested by its size and the figure inside), while the other carries what appears to be a worker or laborer. The caricatured faces and the confrontational positioning suggest social conflict or class tension. The title "TRADE FOLLWS" (likely "TRADE FOLLOWS" with OCR error) suggests commentary on how commerce or business practices follow certain patterns—possibly satirizing how different classes of workers or business interests clash or compete. The specific historical context—which trade dispute, labor movement, or business conflict this references—is unclear without additional documentation. The Judge magazine copyright and New York setting confirm this is American satire from the early 1900s era.
