# "Taken by Storm" - Judge Magazine, October 24, 1914 This illustration by James Montgomery Flagg depicts a couple caught in a rainstorm, with the man shielding the woman under an umbrella. The title "Taken by Storm" is a pun—literally showing people caught in bad weather, while also suggesting romantic spontaneity or sudden attraction. The cartoon appears to be a lighthearted commentary on courtship and romance. The man's protective gesture and the woman's apparent enjoyment of the moment satirize or celebrate the idea of romantic adventure, even under adverse circumstances. This reflects early-20th-century attitudes about gender relations and courtship rituals. The specific political or social context for this particular issue remains unclear without additional page context.
