What you’re looking at
This page consists primarily of **advertisements and brief humorous anecdotes** rather than political cartoons. The one illustration shows a **lady speaking with a professor about extinct dinosaurs** (Atlantosaurus, Ichthyosaurus, Iguanodon). The joke, credited to London Punch, satirizes how people accept scientific nomenclature without questioning it—the lady implies these creatures may not have actually been called by such elaborate Latin names, gently mocking both academic pretension and casual acceptance of expert authority. The text column discusses **Esperanto**, an artificial universal language promoted in the early 1900s. The satire notes that despite its goal of international understanding, delegates at an Esperanto congress ironically communicated *better* in their native languages—a deadpan critique of the movement's failure. Other brief jokes mock doctors, domestic servants, and gender dynamics typical of early-20th-century humor. The advertisements promote liqueur, cigarettes, and a resort hotel—standard period commercial content.

Where Is “‘Esperanto’'?— What has be- come of Esperanto, the ‘universal lan- guage’? Five years ago it was quite rampant. At present the only thing that seems to be ‘‘universal’’ about it is the universality with which it has been forgotten. The fascinating new world tongue began to decline at a certain in- ternational congress of Esperantists, at which the sad discovery was made that the delegates from different countries could understand one another rather bet- ter when they spoke in their various mother tongues than when they spoke in Esperanto,.—New York Mail.
