What you’re looking at

This appears to be a satirical cartoon from *The Wasp*, likely from the late 19th century. The main figure is a well-dressed, corpulent man being launched upward like a projectile, labeled with text suggesting capitalist excess or corruption ("DOWN WITH CAPITALISM," visible on his clothing). He appears to be tumbling away from an "EAST" sign/flag. At the bottom, a figure with a telescope observes this scene from behind a wall labeled "A GREAT BEDLAM / NOBODY HURT." The cartoon satirizes wealthy capitalists or political figures, depicting their downfall or chaos. The observer's detached position and the "nobody hurt" caption suggest ironic commentary on social upheaval or revolutionary sentiment. The specific identities remain unclear without additional context from the publication date.
