The Wasp — 1877 — page 162: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

The page features a political cartoon in the upper left showing two figures in formal dress appearing to shake hands or interact, labeled with what appears to be "BOSS" at the bottom. However, the specific identities of these figures are unclear from the image alone. The rest of the page consists of brief news items and commentary typical of The Wasp's satirical format—discussing topics like Berkeley University students, California Team activities, a murder case, newspaper rivalries, and various local San Francisco matters. Without clearer labeling or context visible in the illustration itself, I cannot definitively identify the specific political figures or events the cartoon satirizes. The text items appear to be general social and political commentary rather than explaining the cartoon's specific reference.
