# Analysis of Judge Magazine Cover (January 6, 1894) This satirical map from Judge magazine presents a distorted view of the United States titled "All That There Is of U.S. According to Grover Cleveland," with the quote "My country 'tis of ME. Sweet land of liberty, Of ME I sing." The cartoon mocks President Grover Cleveland by suggesting he views the entire nation as his personal property. The exaggerated map shows the continental U.S. with Cleveland's face prominently featured in the northeast, implying his egocentrism or overreach of presidential power. The 1894 date places this during Cleveland's second term, likely criticizing his handling of economic policy during the Panic of 1893 or his controversial political appointments. The satire suggests Cleveland prioritized personal interests over national welfare.
