What you’re looking at

This appears to be an illustration rather than a political cartoon. The image shows two figures in early 20th-century dress examining terrain near a large tree by a waterside. The caption "The Deeper the Rough the More Interesting the Game" suggests a golfing reference—"rough" being the unmowed grass areas on a golf course that make play more challenging. The illustration likely accompanies a humorous article about golf, a popular leisure activity among the wealthy during this era. The formal dress of the figures and scenic landscape suggest this is satirizing the pretensions or earnest dedication of golf enthusiasts. Without additional context from the article text, the specific satirical point remains unclear, though it appears to mock how golfers find difficulty appealing rather than frustrating.
