The Wasp — 1891 — page 202: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is predominantly **advertising**, not political satire. It contains steamship and shipping company advertisements (Pacific Coast Steamship Company, Oceanic Steamship Co., Pacific Mail Steamship Co.), along with business notices for various San Francisco firms. The only illustrated element is a **bearded man's portrait** labeled "Dr. Gibbon's Dispensary," advertising a mercury-based ointment for treating syphilis and related conditions—a common medical advertisement of the era. There is one small comic dialogue section titled "Odd Fellows" with brief exchanges about lost items and dancing, but this contains no political commentary or social satire. This appears to be a **filler/advertising page** rather than a page showcasing The Wasp's satirical content.
