The Wasp — 1894 — page 46: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and directory content**, not political satire. The left side features promotional images and text for the **Hotel Del Monte** in Monterey, California, advertising it as "The Queen of Summer Resorts" with "elegant accommodations at reasonable prices." Multiple photographs show the hotel's grounds, architecture, and gardens. The right side is a **business directory** listing San Francisco hotels, restaurants, and services (Nevada House, The Knickerbocker, various dining establishments, etc.). The bottom includes ads for the Occidental Hotel, commercial printing services, and Page & Falch's Restaurant and Bakery. This appears to be a typical late 19th/early 20th-century magazine page mixing editorial space with paid advertisements—standard practice before modern advertising separation.
