# "The Man in the Moon" — Judge Magazine, August 3, 1918 This illustration depicts a woman's profile gazing at a crescent moon, where a face appears within the lunar curve. The caption reads "The Man in the Moon." The image likely plays on the folkloric "man in the moon" — a figure traditionally seen in the moon's shadows. However, the specific satirical meaning is unclear without additional context. Given the August 1918 date (late WWI), this could reference wartime concerns, though the connection isn't explicit from the image alone. The subtitle identifies this as part of "The Nation's Perpetual Smileage Book," suggesting this was meant as humorous content. The artist is credited as Philip Cammeron Jr.
