The Wasp — 1894 — page 117: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and theater notices** rather than political satire. The main content features: **"Throve Opera Glass"** - A decorative advertisement with two portrait photographs (identified as "James O'Neill" in caption) promoting opera glasses, likely for theatrical use. **Theater reviews and announcements** discussing performances at various San Francisco venues, including references to "Monte Cristo," "Nanon," and other theatrical productions. **Miscellaneous advertisements** for music instruction, costumes, and racing events. The page lacks significant political cartoon content. Instead, it reflects late 19th-century San Francisco's robust theater culture and commercial advertising. The "Wasp" here functions more as an entertainment and society publication than as primarily satirical commentary.
