What you’re looking at
This cartoon depicts two well-dressed gentlemen in what appears to be an elegant interior setting. The man on the right holds what looks like a decorative object or artifact, while the man on the left observes. The title "Every Man to His Taste" suggests the cartoon is satirizing differing preferences or aesthetic choices, likely among the wealthy or cultured classes. Without additional context from the magazine's publication date or accompanying text, the specific figures and social commentary remain unclear. The sketch style and formal attire suggest this is commentary on class, refinement, or perhaps collecting habits among gentlemen of means, but the exact satirical target cannot be determined from the image alone.
