Political cartoon showing "California's" treatment of Chinese
in Harper's Weekly, August 7, 1869. The sign to the right
reads: "Courts of Justice Closed to Chinese/Extra Taxes
to 'Yellowjack.'" A certain ambiguity is added to the
illustration through the title: "Pacific Chivalry,
Encouragement to Chinese Immigration." Some of the
editorial comment of the day was, while not pro-
immigration, did not condone ill-treatment of the Chinese.
