What you’re looking at

This is a pen-and-ink satirical cartoon from *Life* magazine depicting two formally dressed gentlemen in tuxedos, holding cocktails and appearing to converse. The caption reads "Speaking of pr[ices]" (cut off), suggesting the cartoon comments on pricing or financial matters. The caricatured figures appear to be wealthy or upper-class men engaged in social discourse. Without additional context about the specific issue date or visible identifying features, I cannot definitively name these individuals. The satire likely mocks either pretentious wealthy conversation, economic discussion among the elite, or a specific contemporary political/business topic related to prices or costs. The formal attire and cocktail setting indicate commentary on high society or business circles during the period *Life* was published.
