The Wasp — 1888 — page 223: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and transportation schedules**, not editorial content or political cartoons. It contains railroad and steamship timetables and advertisements for the Southern Pacific Company, S.F. & North Pacific R.R., various steamship lines (Pacific Coast Steamship Company, Oceanic Steamship Co., Pacific Mail Steamship Co.), and other regional transit services. The only notable image is a small advertisement for "THE BOSS" saw, sold by Pacific Saw Manufacturing Co., which uses a simple product illustration rather than political satire. The page reflects late 19th-century San Francisco commercial activity and transportation infrastructure—valuable as historical documentation of regional commerce, but containing no discernible political cartoons or satirical commentary.
