What you’re looking at

# The Illustrated Wasp, Page 355 This page contains three distinct text sections rather than political cartoons: 1. **"Consulted"** - A narrative anecdote about a man seeking political advice, concluding that finding a leader requires looking beyond disaffected intellectuals to those with practical wisdom. 2. **"To Our Exchanges"** - Editorial commentary addressing other newspapers, requesting they resume sending exchange copies to *The Wasp* after some had discontinued the practice. The editors note they consider *The Wasp* a valuable weekly publication deserving reciprocal exchange. 3. **"A Mother's Joy"** - A sentimental poem about motherhood, reprinted by reader request. The page lacks satirical political cartoons, focusing instead on editorial content and verse typical of 1870s periodicals.
