The Wasp — 1894 — page 110: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising**, not satire or political commentary. It features multiple photographs of the Hotel Del Monte in Monterey, California, promoted as "The Queen of Summer Resorts" for the 1893 season under manager Geo. Schonewald. The right column contains a directory of San Francisco hotels and restaurants, plus advertisements for local businesses including the Occidental Hotel, a printing company, and a bakery. The images show elegant Victorian architecture and grounds typical of Gilded Age resort hotels. There is no apparent cartoon, political figure caricature, or satirical content on this page—it functions as a commercial promotion for upscale leisure destinations and services available to wealthy California travelers in the 1890s.
