The Wasp — 1878 — page 213: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and business notices** for The Illustrated Wasp magazine itself, rather than political satire. The content includes: - **Back issue sales** (ten cents a copy) - **Patent covers** for filing the magazine - **Train and boat schedules** from San Francisco (starting October 7, 1878) - **Various local San Francisco advertisements**: Hibernia Brewery, Humboldt Brewery, Sullivan Kelly & Co. (paint suppliers), and Muller's optical shop The only illustration with potential satirical intent shows a bearded man labeled "O! Ah! MULLER the Leading Optician"—likely a commercial advertisement rather than political commentary. The page primarily documents late-1870s San Francisco commercial life and magazine distribution logistics rather than conveying political or social satire.
