The Wasp — 1887 — page 160: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This is primarily a **title page and advertising section** rather than a satirical cartoon. "The Wasp" masthead dominates the top in ornate Victorian lettering (Volume XIX, Number 9). The page features dense classified and display advertisements for San Francisco businesses from 1887, including: - Gypsy Queen Cigarettes (prominently featured) - Photography services - Tailors and boot makers - Medical practitioners - Liquor dealers - Hat shops The only illustrative element is a **bearded man's face** in the "Garbolie Smoke Ball" advertisement, likely a generic trade image rather than a political figure. No clear satirical content or recognizable caricatures are present on this particular page.
