What you’re looking at
This page from the satirical magazine *Judge* contains multiple cartoons and advertisements reflecting turn-of-the-century American concerns. The top cartoon, "Beyond the Dreams of Avarice," satirizes sudden wealth from stock speculation (specifically Northern Pacific shares). It mocks the wealthy man who accumulates riches but struggles to spend them—his dilemma is interrupted absurdly when an alarm clock forces him awake, suggesting his wealth fantasy was merely a dream. Below, "Time is Flying" presents a simple visual joke: a cat remarks it's time to go home when the clock strikes, playing on the double meaning of "striking one"—both the time and the physical action. The remaining content is primarily **advertisements** for period products: Trimble Whiskey, Kodak cameras (emphasizing their superiority), travel guides, and luxury European hotels. These ads reflect the affluence of *Judge*'s readership. The page's overall tone satirizes American materialism and nouveau-riche aspirations while simultaneously marketing luxury goods to that same audience—a characteristic *Judge* editorial strategy.
