The Wasp — 1879 — page 139: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **editorial and administrative content** rather than political cartoons. The small illustration at top-left appears to be the magazine's masthead/logo. The main text discusses editorial matters, subscription terms, and staff credentialization. Notable content includes a section titled **"A Tempest in a Teapot"** critiquing General Grant's recent return to America and his interactions with various civic figures and politicians. The satire targets what the editor views as **excessive public fawning over Grant**, suggesting the general has received unwarranted adulation despite his record. The piece mocks both Grant's pride and citizens' willingness to overlook his limitations. The page also contains railroad-related notices and Spring Valley Extension updates, typical of 1879 San Francisco journalism.
