The Wasp — 1879 — page 185: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page contains serialized fiction rather than political cartoons or satirical illustrations. The text is Chapter XI (continued) and Chapter XII of a story titled "More Bitter than Death," presented in typical magazine column format. The content appears to be a Victorian-era domestic melodrama involving characters named Lady Lausaine, Mr. Bray, and Rose. The narrative focuses on romantic entanglements, class tensions, and emotional conflicts—common themes in serialized fiction of the period. Without visible cartoon illustrations or explicit political/social satire on this particular page, I cannot identify specific caricatures or satirical targets. This appears to be a story installment rather than The Wasp's typical satirical content.
