The Wasp — 1895 — page 104: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily a **San Francisco business directory and advertisement section** from *The Wasp* magazine. The only cartoon present is titled "Splitting Hairs" and depicts a figure in profile appearing to carefully examine or separate something with a tool, likely hair. The caption "Splitting Hairs" suggests satire about **excessive attention to trivial distinctions or pedantic argumentation**—a common metaphor for pointless debate over minor details. Without additional context identifying the specific figure or contemporary reference, the cartoon appears to be a general commentary on intellectual pretentiousness rather than targeting a particular person or event. The detailed advertisements dominate the page's content.
