The Wasp — 1893 — page 26: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising, not editorial content or satire**. It features multiple photographs and promotional text for the Hotel del Monte in Monterey, California, described as "THE QUEEN OF SUMMER RESORTS" for the 1892 season. The page includes architectural photographs of the hotel's various views and rooms, managed by Geo. Schoenewald. Below that is an advertisement for the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, emphasizing its status as "the model hotel of the world." The right column contains a directory of San Francisco hotels, restaurants, and Pacific Coast establishments—typical business advertising for The Wasp's readers. **No political cartoons, satirical commentary, or caricatured figures are present on this page.** It represents standard late-19th-century magazine advertising.
