The Wasp — 1889 — page 194: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising content** rather than editorial satire or political cartoons. It consists almost entirely of hotel and business advertisements for California locations (Anaheim, Fresno, Sacramento, Los Angeles, San Francisco, etc.), along with notices for banks and other services. The only illustrated element appears to be a small decorative cartoon in the upper left corner showing "L. A. BERTELING, Scientific Optician" — depicting a figure with optical equipment. This is a commercial advertisement rather than political satire. The page header identifies it as being from **The Wasp** magazine, but this particular issue page functions as a classified advertisements section rather than containing the satirical political cartoons The Wasp was known for.
