Life Jan 1911 Egypt Tourists Cartoon Otto Cushing, Otho Cushing, February 1911

Fanciful cartoon from 1911 imagining tourism in ancient egypt. People dressed in caricatured ancient egyptian attire with some early 20th century touches - plus a visiting classical roman - are in a barge that looks like an open tour bus, labeled "seeing the nile barge co. " in the background are the great pyramids. At left a woman holds a megaphone to her mouth, presumably narrating the tour. Figures in front seat are scantily clad man and women with driving goggles, the man operating a steering wheel like those seen on 1911 automobiles. Caption: as it might have been anthony: cold dear? cleopatra: not at all. I find these goggles the greatest protection. Date: February 1911.
