A complete, restored issue of Judge from 1889-04-27 — all 28 pages of color political cartoons and topical humor, free to page through at comicbooks.com.

On the cover: # Judge Magazine - Washington Centennial Issue, 1889 This is a **cover for Judge's special Washington Centennial issue**, commemorating the 100th anniversary of George Washington's presidency (1789-1889). The ornate decorative frame at top contains what appears to be an eagle or heraldic design typical of patriotic imagery. Below it is a portrait of **George Washington** with a radiating halo effect, a common iconographic treatment elevating him to near-saintly status. The text emphasizes this is a commemorative publication marking the centennial, priced at 10 cents. The Judge Building address in New York appears at bottom left. This appears to be primarily a **patriotic special edition** rather than political satire—using Washington's revered image to market the magazine during a significant national anniversary.

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