The Wasp — 1888 — page 20: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **editorial and advertising content** rather than political cartoons. The left column contains "Commendation" and "Thrift and Humor" sections praising The Wasp's editorial quality and satirical illustrations. The right side features advertisements for wine (Schramsberg), wallpapers, sporting goods, and other San Francisco businesses—typical of 1890s-era magazine monetization. The "Thrift and Humor" section includes anecdotal jokes about married life and social situations, but these are light domestic humor without clear political satire. **Key point**: This appears to be a regular editorial/advertising page rather than a page showcasing The Wasp's characteristic political cartoon content, which the commendation column references but which doesn't appear on this particular page.
