What you’re looking at

This page from *Life* magazine (September 2, 1920) shows a photograph titled "KINSFOLK" rather than a cartoon. The image depicts a young child in what appears to be a stable or barn, standing beside a horse's head. The child is holding something small (possibly food or a treat) toward the horse. The title "KINSFOLK" appears to be a humorous caption suggesting kinship or familial resemblance between the child and the horse—a common satirical device of the era that could reference either the child's appearance or behavior, or perhaps social commentary about rural/working-class families. Without additional context from accompanying text on the page, the specific satirical intent remains unclear.
