What you’re looking at

This is a title page from "The Wasp," a satirical magazine published by G. W. Dillingham Company in New York, dated 1914. The page credits the author as Theodore Goodridge Roberts (noted for previous work "Jess of the River") and illustrator E. M. Ashe. This appears to be a cover or frontispiece rather than a cartoon itself. "The Wasp" was known for biting social and political satire during the early 20th century. Without seeing the actual interior content or illustrations, I cannot identify specific figures or explain particular satirical points, but the publication's title suggests sharp, pointed commentary on contemporary issues of the 1914 era.
