Judge — September 22, 1917 — page 3: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
This page shows a monument statue labeled "FISHER" at the bottom. The figure holds a sword raised high in one hand and what appears to be a document or proclamation in the other. The dramatic artistic style—with swirling clouds or smoke around the base—suggests heroic commemoration or mock-heroic satire. Without additional context identifying who "Fisher" is or what specific historical event this references, I cannot confidently explain the satirical point. The statue's triumphant pose and the formal monument presentation suggest this may be commemorating or satirizing a political or military figure from Judge magazine's era, but the specific target and criticism remain unclear from the image and OCR text alone.
