IMMIGRATION USA 'We look for a million-man: very good salary', c.1885 (woodcut)

IMMIGRATION USA 'We look for a million-man: very good salary' sign stands on Castle Garden (now Castle Clinton or Fort Clinton) southern end of Manhattan in the City of New York, a point of entry for immigrants from the old continent. Satirical cartoon that is like the mythical huge availability of jobs and high wage rates in the United States, have been a strong incentive for immigration from Europe. The three characters are on the shore of Europe, who wants to start as a young woman who gives in to the seduction of wealth and a puritan man who holds it, England is the oldest and sad lion who attends the scene and starts with steamships. Woodcut, circa 1855. Gran Bretagna,
