# Analysis of Judge Magazine Cover, March 6, 1897 This political cartoon depicts a farewell scene titled "Good-Bye and Good Luck." A tall, dignified man in formal attire shakes hands with a small figure on the left while a woman in a coat stands on the right. The doorway behind them is labeled "TO RETIREMENT." The caption quotes the tall man (identified as "Judge to Grover"): "Here's to the health of you and your family. May you live long and prosper." This appears to reference **Grover Cleveland's retirement from the presidency**. Cleveland served two non-consecutive terms (1885-1889 and 1893-1897), with his second term ending in March 1897. The cartoon satirizes his departure from office, depicting the farewell with mock-ceremonial dignity while suggesting relief or irony about his exit from power.
