What you’re looking at

I can see this is a page of text from *The Wasp* magazine (page 153), but **I cannot see any cartoon or illustration on this image** — only printed text describing what appears to be a dramatic duel scene between characters named Stanton, Burnham, Willis, and Throgmorton. The passage describes a sword fight where Stanton is fatally wounded, and Burnham claims the light was in his eyes, so he didn't deliver the intended death blow. Willis tends to the wounded man while Throgmorton reacts with distress. **Without seeing the actual cartoon**, I cannot identify what figures are caricatured, what political or social events this references, or what satire is intended. To explain the satirical meaning, I would need to see the visual content that accompanies this text.
