# "The Bright Spots on the Butterfly" This is a **Judge magazine cover from September 23, 1916**, priced at 10 cents. The illustration uses a butterfly as a frame containing vignettes—small scenes depicting various entertainers or public figures of the era. The title "The Bright Spots on the Butterfly" appears to be a playful reference to entertainment and cultural luminaries. The butterfly's wings and body contain different photographic or illustrated scenes, likely representing popular actors, performers, or notable figures from 1916. The two oval spots at the bottom of the wings contain what appear to be portrait heads. The contributors listed (Walt Mason, S.E. Kiser, Arthur Chapman, Douglas Malloch, K.L. Roberts, Tudor Jenks, and Clinton Scollard) were prominent writers and humorists of the period. Without clearer image resolution, the specific identities of the figures remain unclear.
