What you’re looking at
This cartoon depicts a winged female figure (labeled "Nell," likely representing a allegorical concept or specific person) sitting on a bench, appearing distressed or neglected. She holds what appears to be a document or notice beside her. The artistic style—heavy crosshatching suggesting emotional turbulence—emphasizes her unhappy state. The caption "They ain't done right by our Nell" suggests a complaint about mistreatment or injustice toward this figure. Without additional context from the magazine's date or surrounding articles, the specific identity of "Nell" and the particular grievance remain unclear. This could reference political policy, labor conditions, women's rights, or another contemporary social issue Judge's readership would have recognized.
