What you’re looking at
This page contains two satirical cartoons and a photograph from Life magazine, likely from 1917-1918 based on the Lusitania reference. **Top cartoons:** - "July: A Prescription" shows medical advice about staying cool in summer - "No Kaiser, Not Here" depicts a woman throwing darts at a target, with text referencing Kaiser Wilhelm and the Lusitania sinking, expressing relief the Kaiser won't come to America after the war. This reflects American anti-German sentiment during WWI. **Bottom photograph:** "Society on the Sands at Goldport" shows a group of well-dressed people relaxing at a beach, accompanied by a list of names. This appears to be typical social reportage from Life magazine's society coverage. The page juxtaposes lighthearted summer advice and beach society scenes with pointed political commentary about the ongoing war and American security concerns.
