The Wasp — 1892 — page 124: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **literary commentary and advertising** rather than political satire. The left column discusses various 19th-century writers and their works, including Dan de Quille's "Big Bonanza" about Nevada silver mining and Sam Davis's stories. The right side features a large **advertisement for Woodbury's Facial Soap**, illustrated with a man's portrait. The ad emphasizes the product's dermatological benefits, claiming it treats skin conditions, complexion issues, and scalp problems. At the bottom appears a biographical note about **John H. Woodbury**, a dermatologist at 125 West 42nd Street, New York. The page contains no apparent political cartoons or satirical commentary—it represents typical late-19th-century magazine content mixing literary criticism with commercial advertising.
