What you’re looking at

This appears to be a political cartoon by Orson Lowell from *Judge* magazine satirizing the recruitment of "able-bodied men" (likely for military service). The illustration depicts women in water, enthusiastically gesturing and calling upward—seemingly appealing to or summoning men. The women are drawn in period dress with elaborate hairstyles, rendered in Lowell's characteristic cross-hatching style. The cartoon likely comments on wartime recruitment efforts or women's roles in encouraging male enlistment, possibly during World War I or another conflict requiring conscription. The women's animated poses and raised arms suggest they're actively promoting military participation among men. The exact historical context and specific targets of the satire are unclear without additional publication date information.
