Magazine with 4 color prints...



Item # 561302

October 12, 1892

JUDGE magazine with SUPPLEMENT, New York, October 12, 1892  Judge magazine was founded in 1881 by a group of artists, headed by James Albert Wales, who left the staff of the popular comic weekly Puck. The magazine featured bold satire and good political drawing with chromolithographic front and back covers and center spread.

After a strong start, the magazine found itself struggling to compete with its very similar rival Puck.  Puck finally expired in 1918, while Judge continued to thrive into the 1930's and beyond.

The color prints are very desired for their displayability. This issue has as its political cartoons:

ftpg: "Puck - Columbus Day Number"
additional colorized page: "Great inducements by the 'Party of Moral Ideas'"
doublepage centerfold: "Columbus Puck Discovering American Humor"
Inside backpg: "The Gallant Capture of Jack Grab"

This issue is complete in 20 pages, measures 10 1/2 by 14 inches, does have a lite water stain along the right margin edge, otherwise is in  good condition.
