# Analysis of Judge Magazine, December 22, 1917 This page is primarily an **advertisement for Leslie's Illustrated Weekly Newspaper**, presented as a Christmas gift suggestion. The ad promotes a year-long subscription for $5.00, emphasizing Leslie's coverage of World War I, which was still ongoing in December 1917 (the U.S. had entered in April 1917). The pitch highlights Leslie's as offering "the most war-pictures, the best war-pictures, *first*"—positioning the magazine as the leading source for war news and imagery. The accompanying photograph shows soldiers, likely from the Great War. The contents page on the right lists various articles and illustrations typical of Judge's satirical humor, though specific cartoons aren't clearly visible in this image. This is essentially a gift-advertising page rather than satirical content itself.
