# "A Spring Chicken" - Judge Magazine, July 5, 1913 This page is primarily an **advertisement** for a print ("A Spring Chicken" by James Montgomery Flagg) rather than political satire. The illustration depicts an attractive young woman in a short dress, striking a confident pose. The accompanying text plays on the phrase "spring chicken" (slang for an attractive young woman), claiming the colored print captures her appeal perfectly—"dark blue and white bathing suit, peaches and cream complexion, black eyes and hair." The ad promises readers can own this image for 25 cents. The humor is gentle rather than satirical: it's a light, flirtatious marketing approach typical of early 20th-century advertising, appealing to male readers' appreciation of attractive women while celebrating Flagg's popular illustration style.
