# Judge Magazine Cover Analysis This is Judge's "Bride's Number" from June 5, 1920, priced at 15 cents. The cover illustrates the traditional wedding rhyme about what a bride should have: "something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue." The cartoon depicts a bride in the center flanked by three men representing these elements. The left figure (young man in formal wear) appears to represent "something new," the center bride wears traditional white, and the right figure (older man, appearing somewhat disheveled) likely represents "something old." The captions below confirm "something old," "something new," "something borrowed and something blue." The satire appears to play on marriage tradition and the absurdity of literally embodying the superstition with actual people rather than objects.
