What you’re looking at
This page contains several satirical sketches and humorous poems typical of Judge magazine's editorial content. The central cartoon titled "Setting an Example" depicts two well-dressed men in conversation, likely satirizing hypocrisy among authority figures who set poor examples for the public. The accompanying text references "Zeus" killing "Pharaoh" and "Ethiopians," suggesting commentary on military or political leadership and consequences of reckless decision-making. The bottom illustration labeled "A Message from the Spirit World" shows a woman with multiple dogs, appearing to mock spiritualism—a popular but widely ridiculed phenomenon in early 20th-century America. Other sections include brief satirical poems ("Danny Deever of the Seas," "A Good Man," "'Tis Human") targeting various social hypocrisies and human failings of the era.
