What you’re looking at

# Analysis This page from Judge (dated July 9, 1910) features a political cartoon titled "They Won't Go Away Until She Comes Out." The image depicts a large female head emerging from turbulent water, observed by a crowd of men in the background near a pole. The cartoon appears to reference a contemporary scandal or controversy involving a prominent woman, though the specific identity isn't entirely clear from the image alone. The gathering crowd and the caption suggest public pressure or demand for someone's appearance or statement. The aquatic setting may indicate literal or metaphorical drowning in scandal. The satirical point seems to criticize public obsession with a female figure's actions or statements, with the impatient crowd unwilling to disperse until she addresses them—reflecting Judge magazine's typical commentary on social and political follies of the era.
