What you’re looking at

This page from *The Wasp* contains several literary pieces and illustrations rather than explicit political cartoons. The main content includes: **"One on Her"** — A dialogue between Mrs. Rackleigh and Rackleigh about the prettiest calf, appears to be domestic humor. **"Weather Beaten Mariners"** — A narrative about a Thanksgiving Day sail featuring Commodores and sailors, likely satirizing nautical pretension or San Francisco Bay society figures. **"Some Roses"** — A poem about roses sent to a former friend, seemingly sentimental verse. **"Remove Them at Once"** — Editorial content criticizing the Merchants' Association's petition regarding Chinese laborers, addressing a San Francisco civic controversy. The bottom illustration depicts "On the Burlingame Preserves," featuring Lord Charles conversing with Barker. The page blends literary content with social commentary typical of *The Wasp's* satirical approach.
