Summary
Several Irish-Americans celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a parade. Policeman and politicians march in the streets, carrying such banners as "Erin Go Bray" and "Horay for Irlan." Children in tattered clothing follow the parade. A drunk lies against a lamp post. The end of the parade route is "City Hall," New York's Tammany Hall.
Inscribed on verso: This looks crude, but that is intentional as it is supposed to have been drawn by a school boy "Willie." In reality it's a wonderful bit of art work.
