Description: Judge (24:586), page 8-9, center. By Victor, "The cholera has broken out in Hamburg--an emigrant ship lately landed over twenty-two hundred emigrants in New York." Gate at right says "Closed on Account of Cholera Brought through Indiscriminate Immigration." A specter labeled "cholera" in front of gate stops Uncle Sam and "Miss Columbia," both in travelling clothes (i.e. they are tourists); behind them is the lake and buildings of the Chicago Fair (i.e. this is not the ocean, the location is not Hamburg or New York). There is no text about this image in the magazine. Hansen database #2116.
