The Wasp — 1879 — page 284: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This is primarily a title page featuring two portrait engravings labeled "ALFONS XII. AND CHRISTINE, KING AND QUEEN OF SPAIN." The page itself contains no apparent satire or political cartoon—it's a cover/masthead for the magazine dated November 29, 1879, priced at 10 cents. The portraits appear to be straightforward illustrations of Spanish royalty rather than caricatures. Without additional context or satirical visual distortion in these portraits, the specific point or commentary regarding Alfonso XII and Christine is unclear from this image alone. The page functions primarily as an illustrated cover page introducing that week's issue of The Wasp.
