The Wasp — 1878 — page 68: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and notices** rather than satirical content. The masthead indicates this is from *The Illustrated Wasp*, a San Francisco publication. The only visual cartoon appears to be a small two-panel illustration labeled "BEFORE" and "AFTER" advertising a corn/bunion treatment by "FEISTEL & GERARD, from Paris." It depicts a man walking painfully, then walking comfortably—a standard patent-medicine advertisement showing miraculous cure. The page contains theater listings (Grand Opera House, California Theatre), business college advertisements, and medical services ads from Dr. Steinhart and Dr. Minnie, typical of 1870s San Francisco publications. There is no apparent political satire or social commentary on this particular page—it functions as a classified advertising section for the magazine.
