What you’re looking at

This sketch depicts an intimate domestic scene titled "Yesterday," signed by what appears to be "Hedley Hal Doodall" (signature unclear). The cartoon shows a woman standing pensively with hand to face, while a seated man gazes up at her. A fireplace with ivy-covered exterior, flowers on a side table, and modest furnishings suggest a comfortable home interior. The image appears to be sentimental rather than overtly satirical—likely commenting on romantic nostalgia or marital domesticity. The title "Yesterday" suggests themes of memory, lost time, or retrospective longing. Without additional context or clearer text, the specific satirical target remains unclear, though Judge typically lampooned social customs, relationships, and contemporary manners. The aesthetic suggests early-to-mid 20th century illustration style.
