The Wasp — 1877 — page 127: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page features three landscape illustrations of Yosemite Valley landmarks: South Dome (4,737 feet), El Capitan (3,300 feet), and The Bridal Veil Fall. The illustrations are naturalistic engravings rather than satirical cartoons. The page appears to be primarily **illustrative/educational content** rather than political satire. The title "The Illustrated Wasp" suggests the publication occasionally included such scenic imagery alongside its typical satirical content. Without accompanying satirical text or caricatures visible on this page, no political commentary or social critique is evident. This represents a departure from *The Wasp*'s usual format—possibly a travel or tourism feature, or simply filler content showcasing California's natural attractions.
