The Wasp — 1894 — page 26: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is **primarily advertising**, not satirical content. It features multiple hotel and restaurant advertisements for the San Francisco Bay Area and Pacific Coast, circa 1890s. The dominant imagery shows the **Hotel del Monte in Monterey, California**, promoted as "The Queen of Summer Resorts" with illustrations of its Victorian architecture and grounds. This was a prestigious, expensive destination hotel. The page includes advertisements for other establishments like the Occidental Hotel, various restaurants, and dining venues. At the bottom are ads for printing services and business supplies. There are **no political cartoons or satirical commentary visible**. This appears to be a commercial directory/advertising section of *The Wasp* magazine, showcasing upscale hospitality businesses rather than engaging in social or political satire.
