The Wasp — 1890 — page 88: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and directory listings** rather than political satire. The left two-thirds contains hotel and business advertisements for California locations (San Francisco, Pacific Coast towns, Sacramento, etc.), typical of the magazine's commercial content. The right side features a large advertisement for "Hotel Del Monte" in Monterey, California, promoting it as "America's Famous Summer and Winter Resort" and "the most elegant seaside establishment in the world." The accompanying illustrations show scenic views and leisure activities. The small humor pieces scattered among ads (about Rosenbush, a young physician, a wife, etc.) are brief comic anecdotes rather than political cartoons. There is **no identifiable political satire or caricature** on this page—it's essentially a commercial publication selling hospitality and services to wealthy California tourists.
