# "And They Call It Love" This cartoon by R.B. Fouler depicts a domestic scene with satirical commentary on romantic relationships. A couple lounges together in a parlor while a framed painting above shows what appears to be a classical or historical scene of judgment or authority. The juxtaposition suggests irony: the intimate moment below contrasts with the formal, serious scene depicted above. The title "And They Call It Love" indicates satirical skepticism about the nature of romantic affection. The cartoon likely mocks sentimental notions of love or critiques how society romanticizes relationships. The specific identities of the figures remain unclear, but the composition suggests commentary on class, propriety, or the gap between idealized love and actual domestic reality.
