What you’re looking at

This page contains two distinct sections: **Upper portion**: An article titled "An Untold Tale of Lola Montez" discussing a historical theatrical performer. The accompanying engraving depicts the **Court Room of the Supreme Court of the United States**. The text describes Montez as a controversial woman performer of the 1850s, noting her dramatic talent but also her scandalous reputation. The article mentions an incident at the Sacramento Theater involving a pistol-drawing confrontation, suggesting satirical commentary on celebrity misconduct and courtroom drama. **Lower section**: "How Henry George Began His Career" introduces the economist/social theorist, noting he was "first known by a few friends in San Francisco as a compositor" at the *Times* office around 1864. The page appears focused on biographical/historical sketches rather than political cartooning proper.
