What you’re looking at

This satirical cartoon depicts three figures on a street—likely representing social commentary on urban life and class dynamics. The illustration is titled "No. 2. The strange things seen by Mr. Milljiper on his journey from the Ferry to Fourth street." The cartoon appears to mock street encounters, possibly between wealthy and working-class individuals, though the specific identities of the figures remain unclear from the image alone. The caption suggests this is part of a series documenting peculiar urban observations. The rest of the page contains unrelated short stories and advertisements for patent medicines (Woodbury's Facial Soap, Skookum Root Hair Grower), which was typical advertising filler in such publications. The satirical content is limited to this single cartoon.
