| Summary: |
The broadside is divided into two sections. In the first section, a mob of Americans attack a group of European immigrants who have just arrived in New York City and are passing through the Castle Garden immigrant station. In the background, there are ships and a sign labeled "Castle Garden". A woman wearing a scarf and carrying a trunk watches in horror as men throw stones and punches. A man carrying a parcel and a large bag has blood coming out from his eye. In the second section, a group of Chinese immigrants, wearing conical hats and long braids have just arrived in San Francisco, and are riding in a wagon. Americans throw stones at them and try to pull them from the wagon. One man pulls the braid of an immigrant. |
