| Notes about this image: | A group of newly arrived emigrants from different countries is being buttonholed by several "runners" or swindlers in this 1868 cartoon of Castle Garden landing in New York City. On the right a thief is seen rifling through a woman's handbag. The labor exchange shown in the background was another scene of various swindles that involved employment. |
