Honey & Wax Booksellers of Brooklyn offers a splendid original New Yorker cartoon by Anatol Kovarsky. Impartial Justice is depicted holding her scales and blindfolded, mostly. No caption is needed. Most of the drawing is very precisely rendered; only in the lower part does Kovarsky permit himself some looseness.
Which cartoon aged better? I don't think there's any contest.
