The Wasp — 1918 — page 2: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
I can see this is a cover page from *The Wasp* magazine with the title at top and what appears to be author/artist credits at bottom reading "THEODORE GOODRIDGE ROBERTS." The page shows a textured fabric or linen background with vertical striping throughout most of the composition. However, I cannot discern any clear cartoon imagery, caricatures, or satirical illustrations on this particular page. The image quality and contrast make it difficult to identify specific political figures or social commentary. Without being able to read legible cartoon details or additional text beyond the title and credits, I cannot accurately explain what satire or jokes this page was meant to convey to contemporary readers.
