What you’re looking at

This pen-and-ink illustration titled "Struck" depicts what appears to be fashionable women and men in early 20th-century dress, likely from a department store or public venue. The cartoon satirizes contemporary fashion and social behavior, though the specific satire remains unclear from the limited text provided. The figures display exaggerated period clothing—elaborate coats with fur collars, cloche hats, and formal attire typical of the 1920s. The word "Struck" could reference labor strikes, social upheaval, or perhaps a humorous comment on how fashionable people are "struck" (impressed/affected) by style trends. Without additional context or caption text, the precise social or political commentary cannot be definitively identified. The illustration appears to be a fashion or society-focused satirical drawing rather than explicitly political commentary.
