# "Worry" — Judge Magazine, April 9, 1910 This cartoon depicts a large money bag labeled "$ WEALTH" as the central focus, surrounded by anxious figures in dark silhouettes. The title "WORRY" suggests the satirical point: wealthy individuals are consumed by anxiety despite (or because of) their riches. The figures appear to be wealthy people or financiers who, despite possessing substantial wealth, cannot escape worry and stress. This reflects early 20th-century social commentary about the psychological burden of maintaining wealth and status during an economically volatile period. The cartoon likely critiques either the inherent anxiety of the wealthy class or broader economic instability of the era. Without more specific historical context about April 1910 events, the exact target remains unclear, but the message about money failing to guarantee peace of mind is evident.
