The Wasp — 1891 — page 503: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and announcements** rather than political satire. The main content announces The Wasp's "Midsummer Holiday Edition" (July 2nd next), promising 64 pages and 50,000 copies at 10 cents per copy. The small cartoon at bottom shows three figures labeled "Dominick O'Rourke," "Caucus Casey," and a third character. The caption references having "three goats" and a father who is "a janitor in de new City Hall"—suggesting **Irish immigrant stereotypes** common to 1880s-90s San Francisco satire, where working-class Irish characters were frequent subjects of humor. The rest of the page contains business advertisements for furniture, printing services, and cuts/illustrations for sale.
