The Wasp — 1889 — page 287: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **theater and entertainment criticism** rather than political satire. It reviews multiple San Francisco productions including performances at the Baldwin Theater, New Busch Street Theater, Grand Opera House, and Tivoli Opera House. The single illustration appears to be a **dramatic figure in period costume**, likely related to one of the theatrical reviews discussed. The page includes a brief anecdote about **President Harrison and pigs** (apparently a humorous exchange about livestock), and an advertisement for "Horsford's Acid Phosphate" tonic. This represents The Wasp's typical mixed content: entertainment coverage, brief political humor, and advertising. Without clearer context about specific 1880s-90s theatrical personalities or productions referenced, specific satirical targets remain unclear from this page alone.
