# Analysis This is the cover of Judge magazine from September 13, 1919. The main image is a glamorous portrait illustration by James Montgomery Flagg showing a woman's face with styled 1920s hair and makeup, captioned "HERE'S LOOKING AT YOU!" The header references two stories: "Angie" and "The Adventure of the Mozambique Monkeys," described as "Another Gelett Burgess Satire on the Prevailing Sex Story." This suggests the issue satirizes contemporary fiction trends—likely the popular romantic and adventure stories of the era, and possibly evolving attitudes toward sexuality and gender roles in the post-WWI period. The cover's glamorous woman imagery and the "sex story" reference indicate satire directed at pulp fiction conventions and changing social mores of the era.
