# "Harvest Number" - Judge Magazine This is a cover for Judge's "Harvest Number" edition. The illustration depicts a demonic or grotesque figure with an exaggerated face surrounded by smaller demon-like creatures, set against a full moon. Various harvest-related implements (scythes, farming tools) are visible. The satire appears to reference anxieties about labor, harvest conditions, or agricultural exploitation during the era when Judge was published. The demonic imagery suggests the "harvest" being satirized is sinister or exploitative rather than wholesome. The specific political target—whether labor practices, economic conditions, or a particular political figure—cannot be determined from the image alone without additional context about Judge's publication date and contemporary events.
