What you’re looking at
This appears to be an illustration by James Montgomery Flagg, a prominent American cartoonist and illustrator of the early 20th century. The image depicts a romantic or intimate scene between a man and woman, with the man kissing or about to kiss the woman's cheek. She appears to be turning away slightly, her expression somewhat coy or resistant. The caption reads "Please Find Inclosed, Yours Sincerely, A Business Man," suggesting satirical commentary on professional courtship or romantic overtures in business contexts. The humor likely mocks the formality and awkwardness of romantic advances by businessmen, or possibly critiques workplace romantic behavior as inappropriately "business-like" or presumptuous. The illustration's style and Flagg's prominence suggest this was social commentary rather than mere entertainment.
