May 17, 1890
JUDGE magazine, New York, May 17, 1890 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 double-page centerfold in this issue is tipped-in which makes it very nice for display, meaning no binding holes or stapes which are more typically found.
The color prints are very desired for their displayability. This issue has as its political cartoons:
front page: "In The Hands of the Enemy."
double-page centerfold: "The Impending Strike."
back page: "The Amateur Photographer."
Complete in 16 pages, 13 1/4 by 10 1/4 inches, very small damp stain at a lower corner, nice condition.
