What you’re looking at

This appears to be a late 19th-century satirical cartoon from *The Wasp* magazine, signed by the artist Waiter (or similar). The image shows five caricatured men with exaggerated facial features—some wearing top hats, others in military or formal dress—mounted on or standing with horses near a building. The cartoon likely satirizes political or military figures of its era, though the specific identities remain unclear without additional context or visible labels. The exaggerated facial features and body language suggest mockery of these individuals' competence, pretension, or political positions. The setting appears to be a government building or military installation. The incomplete OCR text prevents full interpretation of the intended message or satirical point.
