Visual Descriptionman holds on to horse while another looks on.
Cartoons illustrating the satirical article "Child-Holding" by Robert Benchley, showing men holding babies in various ways. One man wears glasses, a bow tie, and a vest, and smokes a pipe while holding a baby by the arm; another man wearing a bow tie holds a baby out at arms length while a man and woman look on, laughing; another man is hoisted onto a baby's shoulders while holding a bottle.

Two figures face each other, separated by a rift on the ground. The figure on the right looks to be dressed like a cowboy and is mounted on a horse while pointing a gun at the other figure, who seems to wear only a gown and holds their arms out. The piece is overlaid with puzzle pieces that make images of other animals and people, along with other objects that depict animals and people.

An architectural space is described by lines-an interior room with an arch. A man in a chair looks with delight at a deer with a tiger's face, leaping into the air. Another man, foreground bottom right, looks down in contemplation. His body is like a cocoon and has a fingerprint configuration of marks all over it.
