The Wasp — 1892 — page 152: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This is a straightforward political portrait page from *The Wasp* (August 20, 1892), not a satirical cartoon. It features Hon. Charles O. Alexander, identified as the "Regular Republican nominee for Congressman for the Fourth District." The image is a dignified engraved portrait showing Alexander in formal attire with a distinctive mustache. The text references a longer article on page 4, suggesting this served as an introduction to editorial coverage of his congressional candidacy. As a *Wasp* publication, the magazine may have offered critical commentary in that referenced article, but the portrait page itself presents straightforward political information for readers during the 1892 election cycle.
