The Wasp — 1893 — page 352: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising content**, not satire or political commentary. The left side features photographs and promotional text for the **Hotel del Monte** in Monterey, California, marketed as "The Queen of Summer Resorts" for the 1893 season. It emphasizes elegant accommodations at reasonable rates. Below that is an advertisement for the **Palace Hotel** in San Francisco, describing it as "the model hotel of the world" with nine elevators and perfect ventilation—highlighting modern amenities that would have impressed 1890s readers. The right column contains a "Directory of the Best Hotels and Watering Places" listing various San Francisco establishments. There is **no political cartoon or satire visible** on this page. It appears to be a typical late-19th-century magazine advertisement section.
