What you’re looking at

This appears to be a satirical cartoon from *Judge* magazine depicting a large military shell or torpedo labeled "THE NEW DIPLOMACY" raining destruction upon a crowd of civilians below. The weapon bears text suggesting it represents a new approach to international relations, likely critiquing militaristic foreign policy disguised as "diplomacy." The masses of fleeing figures—some wearing various national dress or symbols—suggest this "new diplomacy" affects multiple nations or peoples. The artist's signature appears at bottom left. Without the publication date visible, the specific historical context is unclear, but this likely satirizes early-20th-century imperialism or military interventionism presented as peaceful policy. The cartoon's point: calling such aggressive tactics "diplomacy" is hypocritical and deadly.
