What you’re looking at
This Judge magazine cartoon depicts a wealthy homeowner refusing entry to an unwanted visitor. The figure at the door appears to be a caricatured laborer or working-class person, while the householder stands firmly in the doorway, literally and figuratively shutting them out. The title "NOT AT HOME TO HIM" suggests class-based social exclusion—a common satirical theme in Gilded Age American magazines. The cartoon likely critiques either wealthy indifference to labor issues, immigration concerns, or broader class divisions of the era. The visual metaphor of the closed door emphasizes social barriers between rich and poor. Without a visible date or clearer identifying details, the specific political context remains unclear, though the class commentary is evident.
