What you’re looking at
This page contains mostly **advertisements and corporate listings** rather than political cartoons. The top features a **Champagne ad** for "Pol Roger" featuring horses and riders in a landscape. The **Astor Trust Company** occupies significant space, listing officers and directors—a straightforward corporate advertisement. The only cartoon content is at bottom right, credited to **Rudyard Kipling**, showing a woman holding "Votes" flags while a man gestures below. The caption reads: "A FOOL THERE WAS"—AND—"THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES IS MORE DEADLY THAN THE MALE." This appears to be **anti-suffrage satire**, mocking women's voting rights by invoking Kipling's famous misogynistic phrase. The "Who Did That?" section is an interactive puzzle game, not political commentary.
