A complete, restored issue of Judge from 1891-12-26 — all 19 pages of color political cartoons and topical humor, free to page through at comicbooks.com.

On the cover: # "An Anxious Time for Them" — Judge Magazine, December 26, 1891 This political cartoon depicts a bearded military or political figure (identifiable by medals and sash) seated in what appears to be a courtroom or official chamber, visibly anxious or distressed. He's surrounded by concerned onlookers in the background. The caption "An Anxious Time for Them" suggests this depicts someone awaiting judgment or trial during a turbulent political period. The formal setting and the figure's military regalia indicate this likely satirizes a high-ranking official facing serious consequences—possibly removal from office or legal proceedings. Without clearer identification markers visible in the image, the specific political scandal or event referenced remains unclear, though the tone suggests public anxiety about an official's fate during this 1891 period.

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