# "Another Footprint!" - Judge Magazine, November 21, 1891 This political cartoon depicts a figure examining a footprint on a beach, with a wrecked ship visible in the background. The title "Another Footprint!" suggests discovery of evidence—likely referencing a contemporary scandal or political controversy. The caricatured style and nautical setting suggest this relates to a shipwreck or maritime disaster of 1891. The figure's formal military or official dress indicates he represents an authority investigating the incident. Without additional context from the magazine's other content, the specific event remains unclear. However, the cartoon appears to satirize either governmental incompetence in investigating the disaster or the discovery of incriminating evidence implicating officials. The "footprint" metaphor suggests uncovering hidden culpability.
