The Wasp — 1893 — page 190: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This is a portrait page rather than a cartoon. It presents H. S. Herrick, identified as "a talented young lawyer who has figured in important litigation." The engraving shows a well-dressed man with a distinctive handlebar mustache, wearing formal business attire typical of the 1890s. Without additional context from the magazine's content, the specific litigation or legal cases referenced are unclear. However, *The Wasp's* satirical nature suggests this may be either commending or critiquing Herrick's legal work—though the laudatory caption suggests a positive portrayal. The page serves as a contemporary profile of a notable San Francisco legal figure from this period.
