What you’re looking at

**Top cartoon ("An Accommodating Landlord"):** A well-dressed landlord with a top hat tells a poor tenant woman (Mrs. Flynn) he's raising her rent. She responds that this is "more than O'h kin do"—suggesting Irish working-class struggle. The satire targets landlords exploiting vulnerable tenants with rent increases they cannot afford. **Bottom cartoon ("Oh, You Kid!"):** A woman in fancy dress with a large feathered hat encounters a man in shabby clothes warning her about deep slush on the street, telling her to roll up her trousers. The title "A Woman's Way" and his dismissive "Oh, you kid!" suggest satire of class pretension—a working-class man mocking an overdressed woman ignoring practical reality for vanity. Both cartoons mock class attitudes and economic disparities of the era.
