What you’re looking at

# Analysis This is the cover of Judge magazine from December 20, 1919, featuring a portrait illustration by James Montgomery Flagg titled "The Eyes of Youth." The page indicates this is part of a series called "Letters to the World's New Rulers," with Stephen Leacock addressing "an Autocrat—The Plumber." The portrait shows a young woman with short, dark hair in a 1920s style—likely representing "youth" in the post-WWI era. The subtitle "The Eyes of Youth" suggests the article or accompanying content examines youth's perspective or idealism during the transitional period after World War I. However, without access to the interior content, the specific satirical target and Leacock's argument remain unclear from this cover alone.
