The Wasp — 1877 — page 146: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page from *The Wasp* contains primarily **local news and theater reviews** rather than political satire. The two illustrated figures at top and right appear to be **theatrical characters**—likely from productions reviewed on the page, including "Faust" and works at Baldwin's Academy and California Theatre. The page discusses San Francisco civic matters: the Stockton Fair, a Sub-Treasury building, California Rifle Team, and judicial elections. Theater reviews praise performances by Miss Kellogg and actors Crane and Hobson in "Forbidden Fruit," a comedy described as "intensely funny." The tariff table showing British import duties is informational rather than satirical. This is primarily a **society and entertainment page** with local news, not a political cartoon page.
