The Wasp — 1878 — page 207: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page contains two satirical cartoons. The upper cartoon depicts a figure labeled "KAMERAME" emerging from a box marked with text (partially legible as relating to "SANDWICHES" and "KAMERAME"), with papers scattered below. The lower cartoon shows what appears to be a classical or allegorical figure in an interior setting with various objects including what looks like a sword and decorative items. Without clearer legibility of all labels and dates, I cannot definitively identify the specific political figures or events being lampooned. The cartoons appear to employ visual satire through caricature and symbolic objects, typical of Wasp magazine's approach. However, I cannot reliably explain the precise political or social references these cartoons are meant to mock without risking inaccuracy.
