# "Arthur to the Rescue" - Judge Magazine Cartoon Analysis This political cartoon depicts **President Arthur** wielding a sword to defend American institutions (represented by the female figure labeled with references to "American" and various national symbols) from attack. The cartoon is likely from the early 1880s, during Chester Arthur's presidency. The satire appears to criticize Arthur's effectiveness as president. The caption sarcastically suggests that if Arthur is "really getting up a boom" for his nomination, he should do it "in this style"—implying that his actual political efforts are far less forceful or impressive than this heroic sword-wielding image suggests. The accompanying text discusses Cincinnati violence (likely the 1884 riots) and Wall Street financial matters, suggesting the cartoon addresses both civil unrest and economic concerns of the era—areas where Arthur's leadership was viewed skeptically by this satirical publication.
