The Wasp — 1896 — page 306: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

The page contains satirical text and two illustrations. The left illustration, captioned "UNAPPRECIATED WORTH," depicts a man in formal dress, likely representing a politician or public figure being mocked for his lack of recognition or value. The main text discusses several topics: proper etiquette around royal visits, criticism of a political figure named Labouchere for distributing patronage positions, and commentary on indirect medical advertising. The right illustration shows a domestic scene with the caption "AND HE DIDN'T OF COURSE," though the specific target is unclear from the image alone. The page concludes with a "Johannis" advertisement for table water at luxury establishments. Without additional context about The Wasp's publication date and targets, specific identifications of the figures remain uncertain.
