What you’re looking at
This is not a cartoon page but rather a **advertisements section** from Judge magazine. The page features commercial ads for printing and publishing businesses operating in late 19th-century New York and Chicago. The advertisements promote: - David H. Gildersleeve's printing establishment (fine job, book, and newspaper work) - Henry Lindenmeyer's paper warehouse - Westminster Hotel (near Union Square) - C.B. Cottrell & Sons' printing press machinery The featured illustration shows the "Cottrell Press," a new printing technology that claimed to print and deliver sheets without tape, strings, or obstructions—innovations highlighted as winning first prize at the New Orleans Exposition. The text emphasizes the press's advantages: sheets emerged printed-side up, untouched by operators, preventing smudging ("smut"). There is **no political satire or cartoon content** on this page—it consists entirely of period business advertising aimed at the printing industry.

THIS PRESS HAS TAKEN THE FIRST PRIZE AT THE NEW ORLEANS EXPOSITION. The above engraving represents our new Front Delivery. This is ungestionably the most important improvement in Printing Machinery that has been made in many years. It delivers the sheet, printed-side up, in full view of the pressman ; no part of the printed matter being touched by anything, thus avoiding all possibility of smut, no matter what the quality or quantity of ink it may be found necessary to carry. In addition to this, it leaves the front and back of the press free of access at all times; there being no Fly, Tapes, Strings, or obstructions of any kind. It delivers the sheets at fast or slow speeds equally well, and it does not have to be set for the different size sheets. This improved Press is in operation in many of the leading Printing Offices of the Country, We respectfully invite examination and investigation. 8 Spruce St., New York, *C. B.
