Description:

DESCRIPTION OF ITEM - AN ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATED LITHOGRAPHIC COVER (cover only) OR ARTWORK FROM A VINTAGE JUDGE PERIODICAL... BEING SOLD AS IS WITH ALL FAULTS AS SEEN IN PHOTO(S).Judge was a weekly satirical magazine published in the United States from 1881 to 1947. It was launched by artists who had seceded from its rival Puck. The founders included cartoonist James Albert Wales, dime novels publisher Frank Tousey and author George H. Jessop. Satire, a literary form that humorously mocks, ridicules, and scorns individuals and political or social practices, is one of the most effective means of criticism. Since the time of the ancient Greeks, it has been used to lampoon the comfortable, the rich, the famous and, most important from a constitutional standpoint, the powerful. Satire is implicitly protected by the free expression clause of the First Amendment. IMAGE SIZE - PLEASE SEE THE PHOTO AND USE MEASUREMENTS ON EDGES.
