A complete, restored issue of Judge from 1886-04-17 — all 18 pages of color political cartoons and topical humor, free to page through at comicbooks.com.

On the cover: This page from *Judge* magazine features Joseph W. Drexel, identified as an "Illustrious Citizen" (No. 1 in the series). The portrait is surrounded by vignettes depicting scenes related to Drexel's life and work—including what appears to be industrial or landscape imagery ("The Hudson Valley—McGregor," "The Bread cottage"). The format suggests this is a biographical tribute rather than satirical commentary. *Judge* regularly profiled prominent Americans, and Drexel's inclusion indicates he was a notable public figure of the era, likely involved in business or industrial development. Without additional context about specific controversies or events surrounding Drexel, the exact satirical angle—if any—remains unclear from the image alone.

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