What you’re looking at

# "After the Ball Was Over" This cartoon depicts a hunter and dog confronting what appears to be an exhausted or defeated animal. The caption reads: "My goodness! what shall I do? The hunter is coming!" followed by dialogue about not recognizing "us"—we're disguised." The accompanying text references **Mrs. Rabbit** (home from ball), suggesting this is political satire using animal characters. Given Judge magazine's format, this likely satirizes political figures or parties in disguise or hiding their true identities/positions. The "ball" and subsequent exhaustion suggest a political event or campaign. Without clearer identification of the specific figures or dated context, the exact targets remain unclear, though the satire appears to mock politicians caught in compromising or hypocritical situations.
