What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and obituary content** rather than political satire. The main content is a biographical notice for **De Witt Clinton Kingsbury**, a well-known caricaturist who recently died. The text praises his talent for satirical sketches and his work in newspaper offices throughout San Francisco. The page includes various commercial advertisements (Wells Fargo, Union Iron Works, seeds, tobacco, patent medicines) typical of the era. There is one small cartoon labeled "IN THE SWIM" depicting a dog smoking tobacco—a humorous illustration rather than political commentary. The medical advertisements hawking dubious "cures" for weakness and ailments reflect common turn-of-the-century patent medicine marketing practices, not satire by *The Wasp*.
