The Wasp — 1894 — page 418: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and entertainment listings** for San Francisco venues and businesses, dated November 1894. The notable visual element is Ayer's Pills advertisement featuring their "Prize Medal" from the World's Fair, promoting stomach and bowel remedies. Below it is an illustrated vignette titled "Over the Tea Cups" showing what appears to be a Victorian-era woman in fancy dress at a tea service, advertising California Furniture Company and theatrical/masquerade consumer services. The bulk of the page contains theater announcements (Alcazar Theatre, Baldwin Theatre, Wigwam Theatre, etc.), opera house listings, music instruction ads, and jewelry/diamond merchant advertisements. **No political cartoon is visible on this page.** It functions primarily as a classified/display advertising section typical of late-19th-century periodicals.
