The Wasp — 1891 — page 190: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and transit schedules** for various steamship companies and railroads serving San Francisco and the Pacific Coast (dated 1891). The only cartoon visible is a small illustration titled **"HER NECK WAS LONG"** depicting a young debutante. The accompanying text suggests this is a satirical comment on social pretension—the piece implies someone is mocking a young woman making her social debut for her appearance or affected mannerisms. The joke appears to critique upper-class social conventions, though the specific reference is unclear without additional context. The bulk of the page consists of shipping schedules, ticket office information, and commercial advertisements typical of period publications, which mixed editorial content with extensive paid notices.
