What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising**, not satire or political commentary. The left side features photographs of Hotel Del Monte in Monterey, California, with the headline "THE CELEBRATED HOTEL DEL MONTE" and tagline "THE QUEEN OF SUMMER RESORTS." Below that is advertisement for The Palace Hotel in San Francisco. The right side contains a "Directory of the Best Hotels and Watering Places On the Pacific Coast," listing establishments in San Francisco and beyond, including the Nevada Restaurant, Hotel Mirabel, and various other hotels and saloons. While this is from *The Wasp*, a satirical magazine, this particular page serves as a commercial advertising section rather than containing political cartoons or satirical commentary.
