Description
This image is a political cartoon titled "The Coming Man," published in The Wasp magazine on May 20, 1881. It reflects the anti-Chinese sentiment prevalent in the U.S. during the late 19th century, particularly around the time of the Chinese Exclusion Act (1882). The cartoon depicts a stereotypical and exaggerated Chinese figure, symbolizing fears that Chinese immigrants were monopolizing jobs and industry. It portrays the Chinese as a threat to American workers and businesses, reinforcing negative attitudes toward Chinese laborers during that period.
