What you’re looking at

This page depicts three silhouetted figures titled "Convoyed," appearing to reference World War I military escorts. The left figure wears a military uniform and hat, the center figure is dressed as a woman in a light dress with an elaborate hat and carries flowers, and the right figure is also in military attire. The satire likely mocks the practice of women being "convoyed" or escorted by soldiers during wartime—a common social custom of the era. The joke appears to play on the contrast between the woman's fashionable, innocent appearance and her military accompaniment, possibly satirizing either wartime romance, security measures, or social propriety during the war years when American troops were actively engaged in Europe.
