Item Details
Description
Heading: (California - Chinese)
Author: Keller, George F.
Title: The Chinese Must Go! But, Who Keeps Them?
Place Published: San Francisco
Publisher:The Wasp
Date Published: 1878
Description:

Duotone lithograph. 32x48 cm (12½x19") plus margins; shrink-wrapped.

The cartoon is The Wasp's interpretation of the Workingmen's Party's rallying cry against Chinese presence in California. Front and center is a donkey in military garb, an indication of a war- war against the Chinese, and liberal immigration policies. On the epaulets of the donkey's uniform, the initials "D.K." represent the faction's self-styled military leader, Irish-born Denis Kearney and chief crier of "the Chinese Must Go" mantra.
