What you’re looking at

This page from *The Wasp* presents four portrait engravings of men identified as school administrators: - **James J. McDonnell** (School Director) - **L. H. Van Schaick** (School Director) - **E. N. Torbey** (Supervisor, 11th Ward) - **Frank Eastman** (Supervisor, 6th Ward) The page appears to be a straightforward roster or directory of San Francisco school officials rather than satirical commentary. Without additional context or captions indicating criticism, the portraits seem presented as factual documentation of these public administrators. *The Wasp* was known for sharp political satire, but this particular page functions more as informational content—possibly from a civic directory or administrative record section of the magazine.
