What you’re looking at

This is a **cigarette advertisement**, not a political cartoon. It features a caricatured male profile with exaggerated features—prominent nose and chin—depicted in a satirical drawing style typical of Judge magazine's aesthetic. The handwritten text reads: "Everything for Smoke enjoyment—nothing for show. 20 for 25¢" and "Nothing else will do." The ad promotes Fatima cigarettes by Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co., emphasizing value and practicality over status. The caricature style suggests the advertisement targets working-class consumers who prioritize affordability and function rather than prestige. This represents early 20th-century tobacco advertising before health warnings, when cigarettes were marketed as everyday consumer goods.
