The Wasp — 1896 — page 666: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **amusement listings and theatrical advertisements** for San Francisco venues circa 1900s, not political satire. The only illustrated content shows: 1. **A caricatured gentleman** (top right) in period dress holding flowers—appears to be a generic "dandy" or fashionable man type, likely accompanying humor about romance or social pretension, though the specific joke is unclear without the article text. 2. **Edward Favor's photograph** (bottom left)—identified as "a clever comedian who has scored a big hit at the Orpheum." This is a straightforward entertainment industry portrait. The page advertises theaters (Columbia, Orpheum, Tivoli Opera House, Baldwin Theatre) and upcoming performances including "The Social Trust," opera productions, and comedy shows.
