The Wasp — 1894 — page 304: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page contains a serialized short story titled "The Devil's Box" (translated by Alice B. Rix) rather than political cartoons. The narrative follows a recently married woman who discovers her husband's infidelity through a compromising letter found in a mysterious box. The only illustration is an advertisement for "Dr. Hall's Pulmonary Balsam," a throat and lung remedy priced at 60 cents, located at bottom right. The page also includes a brief satirical section "The Ladies' Hairdresser" mocking fashionable hairstyling establishments, and "An Instantaneous Success," promoting a patent medicine discovery. This appears to be a typical *Wasp* issue mixing serialized fiction with medical advertisements and light social satire rather than hard political commentary.
