# "The Three Disgraces" - Judge Magazine, July 25, 1885 This political cartoon satirizes three contemporary figures through caricature. The image shows three men in a European setting (suggested by castle architecture), depicting what the caption labels "The Three Disgraces." The leftmost figure wears formal military regalia with decorations, suggesting a European monarch or high official. The central character appears to be a military or political leader in lighter clothing. The right figure is rendered as an elderly man in dark clothing. Without additional historical context from this specific 1885 issue, I cannot definitively identify these three individuals or the specific political scandal being referenced. However, the formal dress and European setting indicate this likely concerns prominent European political or royal figures involved in some contemporary controversy that Judge's American readership would have recognized.
