The Wasp — 1894 — page 441: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page contains **no satirical cartoons**. Instead, it presents two team photographs from a significant 1894 college football game between Stanford University and the University of California, with player rosters labeled below each image. The headline announces Stanford's victory in "Thursday's Great Football Game." The photographs document the athletes in period uniforms and formal poses typical of 1890s sports photography. The bottom of the page advertises an upcoming "Christmas Wasp" issue featuring "forty pages of illustrations by all the great artists in the United States." This appears to be a sports-focused supplement rather than satirical content—likely included because college football was a major social event and The Wasp, as a general-interest publication, covered notable local news alongside its usual political humor.
