# "Foreign Relations" - Judge, April 2, 1921 This satirical cover depicts two figures in profile—a woman wearing an elaborate feathered hat on the left, a man in a top hat on the right—positioned as if in intimate proximity. The caption "Foreign Relations" is a double entendre: it simultaneously references diplomatic relations between nations while suggesting a romantic or scandalous relationship between individuals. The elaborate, exaggerated styling of both figures suggests they represent national stereotypes or political personages of the era. The sophisticated dress and the suggestive positioning imply commentary on America's post-WWI diplomatic dealings, possibly critiquing foreign policy through innuendo. The overall tone is humorous rather than serious political critique, typical of Judge magazine's satirical approach to contemporary issues.
