The Wasp — 1891 — page 561: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and directory listings** rather than satirical cartoons. The left column contains hotel and lodging recommendations for San Francisco and the Pacific Coast. The right side features product advertisements, including Vinegar Bitters, Tarrant's Extract, and other patent medicines. The only illustration appears to be a portrait of **Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr.**, identified as striking a resemblance to someone unnamed. The accompanying text suggests she was studying for the stage at the time of her marriage, though the satire here—if present—is subtle and unclear from the context provided. The page reflects late 19th-century publication practices, mixing editorial content with extensive advertising.
