Scope and content:

"The Wasp was an illustrated weekly magazine devoted to social and political satire which was published in San Francisco from 1876 until well ater the turn of the century." Kenneth M. Johnson, "The Sting of the Wasp," The Book Club of San Francisco, 1967.

Typical of the sentiments of the time, The Wasp often reflected in its political cartoons as well as in its editorials and other writings opposition to the Chinese. It also ridiculed the tactics and actions of the leaders of the Anti-Chinese movement in California.
