The Wasp — 1889 — page 160: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising content** rather than political satire or cartoons. It consists of hotel and business advertisements for the Pacific Coast and Eastern regions, organized alphabetically by location. The only visual element is a **small decorative illustration** in the upper left showing a wasp (the magazine's mascot), accompanying an advertisement for "L. A. Berteling, Scientific Optician." Below that is a "G.G.G." logo for what appears to be a patent medicine or commercial product. The bulk of the page lists hotels, resorts, and services across California and other western locations, with details about rates, amenities, and proprietors. There is no discernible political commentary or satirical content visible—this appears to be a standard advertising section from the magazine.
