Illustration by Gus Bofa, 1883-1968 (siggy lower right corner).

 

very helpful, thanks mos and roaring

thought the price would be low, but the artwork was to cool, to pass

 

I have this magazine cover from the same period:


It was the barber's expression that got me:

 

very cool, in numerous ways, whats with the hacksaw and hammer ?

sociopaths are rarely caught on the job

 

The client didn't want to pay because he said the barber was taking off the top of his head, so the barber is showing him the difference.
There's a caption that reads:
“Et maintenant, si vous alliez ne pas me payer, sous prétext vous ètes… trépané?”
(And now, if you are not going to pay me, under the pretext you were… trepanned?)

The client is reading a contemporary medical journal.

The caption on yours reads:
"Eh, les gars! La paix is signée!"
(Hey, guys! Peace is signed!)

 

Was gonna ask for a close-up of the caption...you beat me to it!
