What you’re looking at

This page displays three sequential comic panels titled "THE WASP" showing domestic conflict scenarios. The sketches depict what appears to be slapstick humor involving physical altercations between men and women in household settings—people falling, fighting, and being thrown about furniture and rooms. Without additional text or captions visible in the image, the specific political or social commentary remains unclear. The crude, energetic drawing style and violent domestic scenarios are typical of 19th-century satirical humor. The title suggests social criticism, but the exact targets—whether marital discord, gender relations, or specific political figures—cannot be definitively determined from the visual content alone. The exotic plants at the bottom may indicate tropical or foreign settings, though their relevance is uncertain.
