Judge — January 18, 1913 — page 11: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
This page contains a single satirical illustration titled "Nothing New Under the Sun." The black-and-white image depicts what appears to be a historical or biblical scene: figures in period costume on boats or near water, with dramatic gestures and classical or religious staging. The title's phrase—a reference to Ecclesiastes ("there is nothing new under the sun")—suggests the cartoon makes a commentary about repetition in human affairs or history. However, without additional context about the specific historical moment Judge published this, or clearer identification of the figures depicted, I cannot confidently identify which particular political or social event or figures are being satirized here. The artistic style and composition suggest social or political commentary typical of Judge magazine's content.
