- Home Again From a Foreign Shore
- Description
-
A political cartoon depicting pro-immigration ideals. The cartoon portrays Uncle Sam (the American mascot) tipping his hat to welcome newly arrived immigrants to the United States. Every immigrant portrayed in the political cartoon has a 5-cent coin for a head, representing that they are not arriving with much money and are looking for opportunity in the United States. Some of the immigrants are shown with chests and bags for items while some are not shown to have items at all. Because New York was the state where many immigrants arrived, the artist want to advocate that New Yorkers could help newly arrived immigrants gain their footing after they arrived.
