What you’re looking at
This appears to be a Pears' Soap advertisement featuring a caricatured figure holding a large bar of soap. The text reads "He won't be happy till he gets it" - a famous Pears' advertising slogan from the late 19th/early 20th century. The image shows an exaggerated caricature of what appears to be a figure in period dress, styled in a way typical of Judge magazine's satirical approach. However, without clearer identification of the specific figure or accompanying article text, I cannot definitively state who is being caricatured or what particular political/social commentary this represents beyond the obvious soap advertisement. The caption on the right confirms this is promotional material for Pears' Soap, making this primarily a commercial advertisement rather than political satire.
