The Wasp — 1887 — page 246: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and theatrical notices** rather than political satire. It features ads for San Francisco venues (Tivoli Opera House, Bush-Street Theater, Royal Guard performance) and commercial products (Salfield's Rejuvenator tonic, Dr. McNulty's medical services, optical goods). The only cartoon content visible appears to be **"Catcher Rae Fleas"** — a humorous illustrated poem about someone named Tam dealing with persistent fleas. This is light domestic humor rather than political satire. The page reflects 1887 San Francisco commercial culture, showcasing period medicine show advertisements and theatrical entertainment. The Wasp's satirical content, if present, appears on other pages of this issue.
