| Description | Print shows Uncle Sam standing at the head of a table at a dinner party in honor of the "Bi-Centennial Celebration of the First German Settlement", with Columbia sitting next to him; around the table are a "Spaniard, Swede, German, Englishman, Russian, Chinese, Irishman" and at the far end an "Italian" hurdy-gurdy man, also a "French" chef entering on the left, carrying a large peacock on a tray and an African American servant spilling trays of food on the Englishman and the Chinese man. In a cradle on the floor next to Columbia are two infants labeled "Malagasy" and "Corean". Uncle Sam is offering a toast to the well-dressed German man standing at center; Puck, standing on the front side of the table, holding his lithographic pencil, offers a bouquet of flowers. Hanging from a garland on the wall in the background, beneath the heading "Germantown 1683-1883", are portraits of Baron von "Steuben", George "Washington", and Marquis de "Lafayette". |
