What you’re looking at

This page from *The Wasp* contains two historical photographs rather than political cartoons: 1. **"They Bay from Telegraph Hill"** - Shows San Francisco's harbor with sailing ships and the newly constructed seawall along the city waterfront. The caption notes Coit Island in the middle distance and Mount Diablo beyond. 2. **"First Glimpse of the Golden Gate"** - A rocky shoreline view showing Fort Point's brick fortification (visible right), which guards San Francisco harbor's entrance. The caption indicates this defensive structure was built to protect against potential threats. These appear to be documentary images illustrating San Francisco's infrastructure and military defenses rather than satirical content typical of *The Wasp*'s editorial cartoons.
