What you’re looking at
Looking at this page from *Judge*, the main cartoon is titled "The Language of Flowers." It depicts a nose with a sigh saying "Oh, dear! this is what I get for being beautiful." This is a visual pun: a nose with pimples or skin imperfections expressing vanity about its beauty while simultaneously being marred by acne. The joke targets the irony of maintaining attractive appearance while suffering common skin afflictions. The cartoon appears to function as a setup for the surrounding advertisements, particularly the multiple Sulphume skin-care product ads (shaving soap, baths, pills, and the main solution for "Impure Blood, Pimples, Tetter, Eczema and Acne"). Rather than pure satire, this is advertising-driven editorial content—a common *Judge* convention where humorous illustrations sold consumer products to readers, playing on vanity and self-consciousness about appearance. The cartoonist creates gentle mockery that the advertiser then "resolves" with their remedy.
