What you’re looking at

This page (140 from *The Wasp*) contains only text—no visible cartoon or illustration. The passage describes a violent incident where Burnham physically attacks someone by the "scruff of the neck," while two others watch passively. Burnham then discards his "opinion" of two named individuals: Stanton and Kitty Trimmer. Without the accompanying image or broader context about *The Wasp's* publication date and these specific figures, I cannot identify who Burnham, Stanton, and Kitty Trimmer were, or what political or social situation this satirizes. The text suggests personal conflict or scandal involving these four people, but the cartoon that would clarify the satire's meaning is not visible on this page.
