The Wasp — 1891 — page 315: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and filler content**, not political satire. The central illustration titled "She Was Enterprising" depicts a woman and man in period dress, with accompanying text about a woman named Clara Healey refusing to associate with a man before the season starts—a social comedy about courtship and marriage prospects. The "Archbishop on the Box" story recounts an anecdote about Archbishop of York Doctor Thomson, whose carriage collided with a stable boy's horse. The humor derives from the Archbishop's befuddlement and the coachman's drunk driving. The page consists mostly of **commercial advertisements** for liquor dealers, insurance companies, pianos, and other San Francisco businesses, with only minor satirical content embedded within.
