The Wasp — 1893 — page 168: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising content**, not political satire. It features promotional material for the Hotel Del Monte in Monterey, California, described as "THE QUEEN OF SUMMER RESORTS" for the 1893 season. The page includes multiple photographs of the hotel's grounds, architecture, and amenities, alongside a directory of San Francisco and Pacific Coast hotels and restaurants. The only editorial content is a brief descriptive paragraph about the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, highlighting its modern amenities (nine elevators, electric lighting, glass roof). There are no political cartoons, caricatures, or satirical commentary visible on this page—it functions as a tourism and hospitality advertisement section within *The Wasp* magazine.
