# The San Francisco Illustrated Wasp, August 30, 1879 This page features portrait caricatures of three men alongside a sketch of a horse-drawn carriage scene. Based on the handwritten labels visible in the image, the figures appear to be identified as "Charles DeYoung," "Rev. Isaac S. Kalloch," and "Alibe De Jr." (though the third name is unclear). The carriage vignette likely references a specific incident involving these individuals. Given the 1879 date and San Francisco context, this probably relates to a contemporary local scandal or feud. Without clearer text or additional context, the specific satirical point remains unclear, though the juxtaposition of portraits with the dramatic carriage scene suggests ridicule of some public controversy or conflict between these prominent San Francisco figures.
