What you’re looking at

This sketch by Gordon Grant depicts a domestic scene featuring a young woman in early 20th-century servant or working-class attire (apron and long dress). The caption reads "Modern young person—Pass me that box of..." with the text cut off. The satire appears to target changing social behaviors among young women of the era. The "modern young person" likely refers to the New Woman—a contemporary figure challenging traditional gender roles through independence and casual behavior. The incomplete caption suggests she's requesting something in an informal, presumptuous manner, satirizing what the publication viewed as improper or overly bold conduct from younger generations. The sketch's tone mocks evolving social standards rather than endorsing them.
