Ellis Island Immigration Museum IV
Ellis Island was the gateway for millions of immigrants to the United States. The exhibition text in the museum says: "Many immigrants were inspired to move to the United States by dreams of the good life. This 1869 illustration, from a story in the Swedish publication 'Läsning för folket' (Reading for the People), imagines Americans relaxing in a comfortable home while surrounded by domestic animals, plentiful wild game, and lush greenery."
