File talk:Grant E., Hamilton, Their New Jerusalem, 1892 Cornell CUL PJM 1111 01.jpg

I have long questioned the accuracy of summarizing this work as "An anti-semitic, anti-immigration cartoon" as @EVDiam: has done, since the cartoonist specifically celebrates Jewish immigrants for their "Perseverance and Industry", and any stereotyping of physical depiction is quite mild by late 19th century standards (compare for example deliberate negative caricatures such as File:The slaves of the Jews - J.A. Wales. LCCN95522871.jpg). I have added a more detailed description of the image. I have left the former description for now, although I consider it unsupported. Other thoughts? -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 21:06, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

The ones leaving New York aren’t Jews. I deleted that sentence from your new description. I’m the one who added “anti-immigration” to the caption because, as you know, Judge was a very popular political magazine. In 1924, an immigration act of congress curtailed Jews among others.

Thank you! I missed that detail earlier. I did a web search for "Schuyler" since, which I'd incorrectly guessed was indended as Jewish immigrant name, but refers instead to Dutch early settlers of the city. I've put in that detail. (Deciphering details of old political cartoons can sometimes be a bit complex even for a "history nerd".) Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk)
