The Wasp — 1893 — page 188: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is **primarily advertising**, not satirical content. The left side features photographs and promotional text for the Hotel Del Monte in Monterey, California, described as "The Queen of Summer Resorts" for the 1893 season. The right column contains a directory of San Francisco hotels and restaurants, including the Palace Hotel. There are no political cartoons or satirical commentary visible. The only illustration is an architectural drawing of the Palace Hotel building itself—a straightforward promotional image highlighting its nine elevators and modern amenities. This appears to be a travel and hospitality advertising section from *The Wasp* magazine, using the publication's pages for commercial promotion rather than satire.
