The Wasp — 1893 — page 204: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and entertainment listings** for San Francisco venues, with one visible cartoon labeled "NOT THAT DW" at the bottom left. The cartoon depicts two figures in period costume (appearing to be 19th-century dress), though the specific satire is unclear from this reproduction. The caption "NOT THAT DW" suggests it's correcting or mocking someone's identity or choice, but without clearer context or the full cartoon, the precise political or social reference remains uncertain. The bulk of the page contains ads for Beecham's Pills, pianos, and theater announcements (Grand Opera House, National Theatre, Wigwam Theatre, etc.), reflecting typical late-19th-century magazine content mixing entertainment with patent medicine advertising.
