# "Expulsion" — Wasp Supplement, February 7, 1880 This engraving depicts a figure being forcibly expelled from what appears to be a confined space—likely a cave or chamber formed by large rocks or architectural elements. The expelled figure has exaggerated facial features characteristic of 19th-century caricature. Without additional context from the full article, the specific target of this "expulsion" cartoon remains unclear. However, given The Wasp's role as a San Francisco satirical publication in 1880, it likely addresses a contemporary political or social controversy—possibly involving immigration, labor disputes, or local politics. The violent imagery suggests strong disapproval of whoever is being depicted. The full caption or accompanying text would be necessary to identify the specific figure and event being satirized.
