Heavenly bodies in 1910

Stargazer: “Damn, I see another comet there!”
(De ware Jacob, Rotterdam, 1910) (When this cartoon appeared in 1910, the last great cholera pandemic was slowly petering out. Halley’s comet also returned to earthly view that same year, an ill portent for some. In Dutch the word for body in “heavenly body” can also signal “corpse.” See also a Russian cartoon on the Halley’s comet theme.)
