I found this website that has posters of old political cartoons, flyers, book covers, etc. and I noticed the owners of the book shop have some funny and very true commentary on these old prints. They often relate to TODAY.

Here are a few examples. Be sure to read the website's comments on the left of the image.

War is getting too efficient.

But yes - the people, the problems - are the same.
