What you’re looking at
This appears to be a satirical cartoon about business continuity during wartime or crisis. The page shows three sketches: 1. **Top left**: A figure receiving correspondence ("Yours received and contents noted") 2. **Bottom**: Two figures engaged in boxing/fighting, suggesting conflict or struggle 3. **Right side**: References to "Going on" and "Business as usual during alterations" The satire seems to mock the notion that business operations continue normally despite significant disruptions—depicted here through violent conflict imagery. The phrase "alterations" is likely euphemistic understatement for serious upheaval. The boxing match illustrates the contradiction: claiming "business as usual" while literally fighting suggests ironic commentary on how institutions or commerce adapt superficially while chaos unfolds beneath. The artist is credited as "CLIVE W[illiam]" (name cut off).
