The Wasp — 1879 — page 397: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily a **title page and dramatic text** rather than a political cartoon. It presents "Baruch Kowski, or Le Juif Polonais" (The Polish Jew), a three-act play adapted from French by Salmi Morse for *The Wasp* magazine. The page lists cast members and includes Act III dialogue. The content appears to be a **serialized theatrical work** rather than satire—the text shows dramatic scenes involving characters named Michel, Mses., and a Chief Justice discussing matters of justice and morality. Without visual caricatures or explicit political commentary visible on this particular page, it functions as **theatrical content** for the magazine's readers rather than political satire.
