What you’re looking at

This page appears to be from Life magazine and contains a dark, heavily shadowed illustration. The caption reads "The Captain a[nd] Sub[marine]" (partially visible at bottom), suggesting the image depicts a submarine-related scene, likely military in nature. The image itself is extremely dark and difficult to parse clearly. However, it appears to show figures in what might be a submarine interior, with some lighter details visible on the right side that could represent water, waves, or interior vessel elements. Without clearer visibility of the illustration's details or additional context from surrounding text, I cannot confidently identify specific caricatures, political figures, or the precise satirical point. The submarine subject suggests this may reference naval/military themes common to early-20th-century American satire, but the specific historical reference remains unclear from this reproduction.
