Judge — May 30, 1885 — page 16: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page from *Judge* magazine contains "The Judge" cartoon (title visible on right margin). The image appears to show a courtroom or judicial scene rendered upside-down on the page, requiring the reader to rotate it 90 degrees clockwise to view properly. The cartoon depicts what appears to be a judge presiding over proceedings, with other figures present in what looks like a formal legal setting. Without being able to clearly read the accompanying text or caption, I cannot definitively explain the specific political or social satire being referenced. The upside-down orientation itself may be part of the satirical joke—possibly suggesting the absurdity or topsy-turvy nature of whatever legal matter is being mocked. More context would be needed for precise interpretation.
