What you’re looking at

This page from *The Wasp* contains biographical sketches and portraits of Republican political figures from San Francisco, likely from the 1880s. The profiles include William R. Daingerfield (a judge), George H. Bahrs (a lawyer), and Walter B. Blair (a Public Administrator). The text emphasizes their professional credentials and party affiliations. The right column discusses the "Non-Partisan Progress" movement, criticizing San Francisco politics as corrupt and advocating for honest city government. A poem titled "The End of the Rib" and another called "Beauties of Matrimony" appear to be satirical commentary on marriage and women, typical of the era's often-patronizing humor. The page serves primarily as political promotion and social commentary rather than sharp satirical cartooning.
