English: 1918 cartoon showing mass of shoppers in urban street wearing masks during the "Spanish Flu" pandemic.
Title: "The Chief Objectors"
At bottom right are a pair of anthropomorphic vaguely insect-like creatures meant to represent personification of the "Flu Bug". One says, "I thought the Holiday Shopping would be our chance, but them infernal masks spoil it all. We can't get through and everybody's safe."
