The Wasp — 1891 — page 131: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and editorial content** rather than political satire. The visible cartoon titled **"Charge of the Light Brigade"** shows two figures in what appears to be a comedic domestic scene—likely illustrating a humorous household dispute or confrontation, though the specific reference to the famous Crimean War poem/battle remains unclear without additional context. The page's main content features **"Chronicles of the Builders of the Commonwealth,"** an article praising California's development and achievements. A subsequent section discusses **San Francisco's poor teacher salaries** and expresses frustration about the Board of Education's budget cuts, advocating for better compensation for teachers. The remainder comprises typical period advertisements for pianos, furniture, hotels, and other goods.
