The Wasp — 1879 — page 829: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page contains no visible cartoon or illustration—it is purely textual, presenting "THE NEW CHARTER" (Volume III, Article VIII onwards) from what appears to be San Francisco municipal governance documentation. The articles detail regulations for various city boards: Health, Education, Police, and Elections Commissioners. The content reads as formal municipal law rather than satire. However, *The Wasp* magazine's purpose was satirizing San Francisco politics, so this charter text likely represents actual proposed or existing regulations that the magazine was critiquing through publication and commentary. Without accompanying cartoons or explicit satirical framing on this specific page, the satire's target and point remain unclear from the image alone.
