What you’re looking at

This page from *The Wasp* presents five portraits of San Francisco officials, arranged with the central figure (John Luttrrel Murphy, City & County Attorney) in the largest circle. The others are identified as: - W.R. Shaber (Treasurer) - J.D. Connelly (Justice of the Peace) - B.A. Reynolds (Public Administrator) - Ch. Tillson (Tax Collector) Without additional contextual text or captions explaining the satire, the page appears to be a straightforward civic portrait gallery rather than a satirical cartoon. The satire, if present, likely depends on surrounding articles or commentary not visible here—possibly criticizing these officials' competence, corruption, or policies.
