"Their New Jerusalem". 1892 cartoon from Judge magazine, showing Jewish people driven from Russia by persecution, coming to New York City in rags and becoming prosperous due to their "Perseverance and Industry". Meanwhile, descendants of the city's "First Families" (Dutch settlers, "Schuyler", "Stuyvesant") head to the American West for new opportunities.
