A complete, restored issue of Judge from 1883-11-24 — all 16 pages of color political cartoons and topical humor, free to page through at comicbooks.com.

On the cover: # "The Judge" Magazine - November 24, 1883 This political cartoon titled "Tilden to Hendricks" shows two men shaking hands beneath Greystone castle. The caption reads: "We come high, but they must have us." The figures appear to be Samuel Tilden and Thomas Hendricks, Democratic politicians of the era. The satirical point seems to concern their political ambitions and demands—suggesting they're positioning themselves as valuable commodities that the party cannot refuse, despite their high asking price (literally or figuratively). The Greystone setting and formal handshake suggest negotiation or deal-making. Without additional context about the specific 1883 political situation, the exact circumstances remain unclear, but the cartoon clearly mocks their presumption of indispensability to Democratic leadership.

🖼️ Every page has a plain-English note on what you’re looking at — the figures, the references, the point of the satire.
