What you’re looking at

# "Funny Things from Judge" This is a cover for *Judge* magazine's humor collection, priced at 25 cents. The illustration shows various caricatured figures emerging from or surrounding a large book or publication labeled "Funny Things from Judge." The artwork features exaggerated, theatrical characters in period costume—including what appears to be performers in masks and elaborate dress. The specific identities of the caricatured figures are unclear without additional context. However, the composition suggests *Judge* was promoting a collection of its satirical cartoons and jokes, likely targeting contemporary public figures or social types through visual exaggeration typical of the era's cartooning style. The "Judge Building" address (5th Ave. and 16th St., N.Y.) is noted at bottom, indicating this was published by the magazine itself.
