The Wasp — 1892 — page 28: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is **primarily advertising** with one notable editorial cartoon. The main illustration shows a bearded man labeled "W. M. BOOTH, The Salvation Army Leader." The accompanying text "ALL SUCH GAME CAUGHT" appears to reference Booth's activities, though the specific satirical point is unclear from the visible context alone. The page contains numerous advertisements for local San Francisco businesses (iron works, machinery, sculptors, shipping companies) typical of the publication's era. There are also patent medicine ads—including "Tarrant's Extract" and "Simmons Liver Regulator"—which were common in period publications. The Wasp was known for satirizing prominent figures and social issues of 1880s-90s California, but this particular page's satirical content, if any beyond the Booth illustration, is not clearly evident.
