The Wasp — 1892 — page 150: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising**, not political satire or commentary. The upper half features photographs and descriptions of the Hotel Del Monte in Monterey, California, promoted as "The Queen of Summer Resorts" for the 1892 season. Multiple images show the hotel's architecture, grounds, and various facilities. The right column contains hotel and business advertisements for establishments across California and the Pacific Coast—including lodgings in Sacramento, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and other cities. There is **no political cartoon or satirical content** visible on this page. The Wasp publication itself was known for satire, but this particular page serves as a conventional advertising section, likely included to generate revenue for the magazine.
