What you’re looking at

This black and white illustration depicts a dog dressed in formal attire—wearing a striped jacket and collar with a cigarette in its mouth—posed with a martini cocktail. The title "A Sport" is the sole text. The cartoon satirizes wealthy or upper-class leisure culture, using the dog as a caricature of a "sport"—slang for a flashy, dissolute man who frequents bars and pursues pleasure. By rendering this character as an animal in human clothing, the artist mocks the pretensions and absurdity of such lifestyle and behavior. The martini and cigarette emphasize indulgence and excess. This appears to be social satire targeting frivolous aristocratic or nouveau-riche behavior, likely from Judge's characteristic commentary on class and morality.
