What you’re looking at

This political cartoon depicts five well-dressed men in what appears to be an indoor office or showroom setting, gathered around furniture and negotiating items. The caption reads "Negotiating for Car" (OCR partially obscured). The scene satirizes business negotiations, likely from the early 20th century based on the art style and clothing. The men's body language and positioning suggest haggling or deal-making over an automobile or related goods. Without additional context about the specific historical moment, it's unclear whether this references a particular scandal, labor dispute, or general commentary on commercial negotiations. The cartoon appears to mock the formal, often tense process of striking business deals during this era.
