# "Her Great Opportunity" / "The Gold-Digger" This satirical cartoon depicts two children peering into a shop window displaying jewelry and valuables. The title "The Gold-Digger" and the Tennyson quote ("So dear a life your arms enfold, / whose crying is a cry for gold") suggest social commentary on materialism and mercenary motivations in relationships. The children represent innocence contrasted with the commercial temptation of wealth visible through the shop window. The cartoon likely satirizes how economic desires—specifically the pursuit of gold or money—corrupt human relationships and values, even among the young. The "great opportunity" referenced in the header implies a cynical commentary on how financial gain motivates human behavior and choices.
