Judge — December 2, 1916 — page 4: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising**, not satire. The top half features a Pebbleford Kentucky Bourbon ad from Clear Spring Distilling Co. in Nelson County, Kentucky—marketing their product as "a bourbon with the bouquet of an old Cognac." The bottom half advertises Judge magazine's art print department, offering two Christmas gift prints by artist James Montgomery Flagg: "Wall-Nuts" and "Good Night, Nurse." Both appear to depict women in domestic or caretaking scenarios. Customers could purchase these 9x12 mounted prints for 50 cents. There is **no political satire** on this page—just period commercial advertising typical of early 20th-century magazine content.
