Grant Hamilton spent the better part of four decades as one of Judge magazine's most prominent cartoonists, working through the 1880s and well into the early 20th century. His compositions are dense and deliberate: labeled figures, layered caricature, and the kind of political satire that required a reader to slow down and look. That style made him a reliable voice for social and electoral commentary during an era when illustrated weeklies shaped public opinion. The period originals here come from that run.
