# Analysis of Judge Page: "Judge" This page contains three distinct elements: **Top illustration**: "An Obstacle Race—The Hobble Handicap" shows two women in large, restrictive skirts struggling while a pig moves freely. This satirizes the "hobble skirt" fashion trend, mocking how impractical women's fashions constrained movement. **Middle text**: Three short pieces—"L'Envoi of the Game," "The Baby's Bath," and "Get Onto New York's Lines"—appear to be humorous advice columns or poetry snippets. **Bottom cartoon**: "A Prize Fight—When the Censors and Moralists Get It Just Right" depicts a boxing match before an audience, with a sign listing contest details. The satire critiques how censorship and moral oversight neutered public entertainment, making even prizefighting's dramatic appeal disappear when overly regulated.
