What you’re looking at

This appears to be a satirical illustration titled "Duel in Africa" depicting a violent scene with multiple figures. The image shows what appears to be dead or dying elephants in the foreground, with human figures (drawn in caricatured style) gathered around them in a tropical setting with palm trees. The partial OCR text "are to be believed" suggests this may be commentary on exaggerated accounts or tall tales about African hunting expeditions—a common satirical subject in late 19th/early 20th century American magazines like Judge. The cartoon likely mocks either hunters' boastful claims about African game or colonial-era narratives about Africa. However, without the complete caption or clearer context, the specific political or social point remains unclear.
