The Wasp — 1878 — page 100: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and announcements** for The Wasp magazine itself and local San Francisco businesses (theaters, schools, medical practitioners, printing services, petroleum lands). The only visual content appears to be a small **two-panel illustration** accompanying an advertisement for "Feisteл & Geraud" featuring products to cure corns and warts. The left panel shows someone with foot problems; the right shows the same person apparently cured and well-dressed. This is straightforward commercial advertising using before-and-after imagery—common in 19th-century patent medicine promotion. The page contains **no political cartoons or satirical content** of note. It functions as a classified advertising section typical of period magazines, with medical quack remedies prominently featured alongside legitimate business listings.
