What you’re looking at

This political cartoon depicts a figure labeled "SOUL SAVER" wading into the ocean at a beach. On the left stands a woman in period dress observing the scene. The caption reads: "some years ago. Don't you think it ought to be changed? ch more appropriate." The satire appears to critique religious or moral reformers—specifically someone claiming to "save souls"—by showing them literally wading into the ocean, perhaps suggesting the absurdity or ineffectiveness of their mission. The incomplete caption suggests the cartoon is making a point about whether this figure's role or title should be updated or reconsidered, implying that whatever they're doing now is outdated or no longer "appropriate." The artist signature appears to read "Du Maurier" or similar. Without the complete text, the precise target remains somewhat unclear.
