What you’re looking at

This satirical cartoon depicts a military officer being kicked by an elephant inside a circus tent. The officer wears a uniform marked "National Committee" and appears to be a caricatured political or military figure. The title "An Added Attraction" suggests this is treating some political misfortune as entertainment—like a circus act. The specific identities remain unclear without additional context, but the cartoon likely satirizes a contemporary political or military figure experiencing public humiliation or defeat. The circus setting emphasizes the absurdity or spectacle of the situation. The elephant, a common symbol of the Republican Party, may indicate partisan political commentary, though the precise event referenced is uncertain without knowing the publication date.
