What you’re looking at

This page contains two satirical cartoons from *Puck* magazine. The main image shows a donkey labeled "Know Nothings" (appearing to reference the anti-immigrant Know Nothing political party) being ridden by a figure in what looks like a cart. Above is a separate vignette titled "An Old Rabbit Revived" depicting what appears to be historical political conflict. The cartoons satirize American political movements, particularly nativist or anti-immigrant positions. The donkey imagery was commonly used to mock Democratic or unpopular political movements. The text references suggest commentary on revived or persistent political antagonisms, though specific contemporary references are unclear without additional historical context about the publication date.
