The Wasp — 1890 — page 104: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily a **society/gossip section** rather than political satire. It reports on upper-class activities in California during what appears to be the late 1800s. The main illustration shows women playing **lawn tennis**, a relatively new recreational activity for the era. The accompanying text notes the "pigeon shoot" at Monterey and describes society members' summer activities at mountain retreats and beach locations. The page includes **social announcements**: engagements, arrivals from abroad, and an obituary for General Fremont (a historically significant figure). There's also mention of a County Club pigeon shoot and social gatherings. The tone is lighthearted gossip about wealthy San Francisco Bay Area society—who's arriving, who's getting married, and how the affluent spend their leisure time.
