The Wasp — 1895 — page 347: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and filler content** rather than satirical cartoons. The main illustrations are: 1. **"Only Rehearsing"** - A sketch showing a couple in an intimate moment, with dialogue suggesting the man is convincing the woman that a previous intimate encounter was "only a dress rehearsal" for their actual performance. This appears to be **social satire about courtship deception**. 2. **"A Priestly Tale"** - A small cartoon showing a figure in religious garb, though the specific satirical point is unclear without the accompanying article text. The page is dominated by **local San Francisco business advertisements** (bicycles, baths, breweries, laundries, optical goods) typical of period magazines. The satirical content is minimal and secondary to commercial notices.
