# "Migratory!" - Judge Magazine Cartoon Analysis This page satirizes wealthy Americans' seasonal migration to Florida during winter. The poem by Lucia Trent mocks the trend humorously: birds fly south, people follow, and someone's left behind pining for their departed lover. The illustration by Gilbert Wilkinson shows fashionably dressed women departing for warmer climates, accompanied by a motorcar—signaling wealth and modernity. The accompanying caption references "Winnie Dalton's husband" appearing in a theatrical production while his wife enjoys the Florida season in her "old mauve taffeta." The satire targets the leisure-class habit of seasonal relocation to Palm Beach and similar destinations, treating it as an almost automatic, trivial pursuit of the affluent during the 1920s.
