What you’re looking at

This page contains **no political cartoons**. Instead, it features: 1. **"Infatuation"** — a sentimental romantic poem emphasizing emotional connection over material wealth ("I'd rather have you" than gold, diamonds, or riches). 2. **"Her Limb Was Uninjured"** — a prose narrative about Miss Melinda at Long Branch beach, describing a bathing accident. A woman in fashionable beach attire suffered a minor mishap when her calf muscle cramped while swimming. The account emphasizes that despite frightening onlookers, she recovered without serious injury. 3. **"Paulo Alfonso—The Niagara of Brazil"** — an illustrated feature describing a Brazilian waterfall, with engraved landscape imagery. This appears to be entertainment and lifestyle content rather than satirical commentary.
