What you’re looking at
This page from Judge contains several brief satirical items mocking contemporary figures and events, centered on "The Cowhiding Craze"—likely referencing incidents of physical assault that were apparently newsworthy at the time. The cartoons illustrate romantic or social encounters with humorous captions. The text items below ridicule various public figures: Henry George (political reformer), Sunset Cox (politician), and references to church singers, Republicans, and actors. Notably, one item mocks a Wisconsin woman who survived eight days without food, another critiques fat men, and several jab at politicians' scandals—including Grant's book profits and contested wills of Tilden and Hendricks (likely 1884 election figures). The satire employs wordplay and ironic observations about contemporary manners, religion, and politics. Without specific dates visible, the exact historical context remains somewhat unclear, though references suggest post-Civil War American political turbulence and social commentary typical of Judge's irreverent style.
