The Wasp — 1891 — page 335: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and content filler** for *The Wasp* magazine, not political satire. The central illustrated content shows a cartoon titled **"BOTH HAVE A FIT"** depicting two figures at a bazaar—apparently a humorous domestic scene about a couple shopping, with a caption about a marker and a governor's bill. Below this is a poem titled **"AFTER DEATH"** by Ella Higginson from *Overland* magazine, featuring sentimental verses about a deceased woman. The page is otherwise dominated by **San Francisco business advertisements** (liquor dealers, shipping merchants, insurance companies, pianos, etc.), which was typical filler for satirical magazines of the era. The small cartoon appears to be mild domestic humor rather than sharp political commentary.
