What you’re looking at

This appears to be a political cartoon from Puck magazine satirizing President Rutherford B. Hayes (indicated by the caption "Hayes's B"). The image shows two figures examining or discussing a large document or billboard. One figure wears a hat and hooded garment, while the other is bearded and formally dressed. The cartoon likely comments on Hayes's political positions or public statements during his presidency (1877-1881). The document they're examining suggests the cartoon critiques either Hayes's policies, his public pronouncements, or perhaps his relationship with particular constituencies or political allies. Without additional context or clearer text, the specific policy or event referenced remains unclear, though the satirical tone is evident from the exaggerated caricatures and composition.
