# "Things That Ain't So" This page presents political caricatures labeled with national personifications—figures representing countries or political entities. The top row shows "Uncle Sam" (United States), a military figure (appears to be Britain), "France," "Korea," and "China." The middle and lower sections include additional caricatures labeled "John Bull" (Britain), "Ireland," and "Domon & Pythias" (likely a classical reference). The title "Things That Ain't So" suggests satire debunking common misconceptions about international relations or contemporary politics. The exaggerated facial features and poses are typical of early 20th-century satirical cartooning. Without specific dating, the exact historical moment referenced remains unclear, though the inclusion of Korea and China suggests post-colonial or early modern geopolitical tensions.
