What you’re looking at

This cartoon depicts two figures standing on pedestals labeled "NAT GOODWIN" and "JOE WEBER" in what appears to be a wooded setting. Both men are rendered as caricatures wearing period clothing and top hats, adopting theatrical poses. The satire likely references these two entertainment figures—Nat Goodwin and Joe Weber were prominent performers of the late 19th/early 20th century. The pedestals suggest they're being elevated or commemorated, possibly mocking their celebrity status or theatrical pretensions. The caption "A FEW NEW ONES" remains unclear without additional context, but the overall tone appears to be humorous commentary on entertainment personalities or public figures of that era. The crude woodcut style was typical of Life magazine's satirical illustrations.
