The Complete Cartoon Archive
Every plate we can restore — the full run.
Judge published a full-color political cartoon nearly every week from 1881, and for decades it was the Republican mirror image of Puck — the same chromolithograph craft, aimed the other way. This is the archive: every Judge plate we have been able to recover and restore from the Library of Congress’s masters — Bernhard Gillam and Grant Hamilton’s centerfolds, Victor Gillam’s imperial allegories, Eugene Zimmerman’s grotesques. Each is public domain; each was digitally restored and labeled by hand at comicbooks.com.
