What you’re looking at

This page contains two satirical illustrations from *Puck* magazine. The top cartoon depicts a winged demon or devil figure carrying away a man in formal dress, suggesting corruption or moral downfall. The bottom image shows a man in a top hat seated at a table with what appears to be a globe or celestial sphere, engaged in some form of scheme or manipulation. Without clearer text identification on the visible portions, I cannot definitively name the specific political figures or events being satirized. The imagery suggests themes of political corruption, greed, or backroom dealing typical of Gilded Age *Puck* satire. The formal dress and symbolic objects (globe, demon) indicate commentary on powerful figures or institutions, but the precise target requires legible caption text to confirm accurately.
