What you’re looking at

This page contains **no cartoons or caricatures**—it's primarily text columns and advertisements from *The Wasp* (February 7th, 1880). The main content includes: 1. **"The Artists' Union"** — discusses a meeting establishing a place for artists to sell work, addressing dignity and fair compensation in the art trade. 2. **"Too Much Honor"** — praises the San Francisco *Wasp*'s Christmas edition as excellent journalism. 3. **"Sacramento"** — a lengthy letter discussing local politics, land disputes, and governance issues in Sacramento, California, mentioning figures like "Pap," Cameron, and various political scheming around railroad business and county seats. The page functions as editorial/satirical commentary on California state politics and artistic institutions rather than visual satire.
