What you’re looking at

This page features biographical profiles and portraits of prominent San Francisco figures, not political cartoons. The "Personalities" section includes: **J. Calegaris, Esq.** — An Italian Chamber of Commerce president and successful businessman described as educated, multilingual, and involved in journalism. **Hon. Charles T. Wilder** — The Hawaiian Provisional Government's Consul General, born in Geneva (1866), educated at Miami and Northwestern Universities. He's portrayed as introducing equestrian activities and "Baron Bang" riding instruction to Hawaii. The page also includes brief satirical commentary on military preparedness and social observations about San Francisco society. The tone is gossipy and occasionally barbed, typical of The Wasp's satirical approach to documenting local notables and their activities.
