The Wasp — 1888 — page 492: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page documents Oroville, California's 1888 citrus fair through multiple photographs and illustrations. The imagery showcases regional agricultural development: orange groves at Thermalito, a fair building with period architecture, what appears to be irrigation infrastructure (the "Dam of Palermo Canal"), and landscape views highlighting citrus cultivation. The layout presents promotional material rather than political satire. The text references local agricultural features and attractions. This appears to be a straightforward documentary page celebrating Butte County's citrus industry and fair—typical of The Wasp's occasional coverage of regional California development alongside its satirical content. The page functions as agricultural promotion rather than cartoon commentary.
