Uncle Sam, dressed as a policeman, stands on the U.S. side of a “‘Fence’ for American Defaulters” and stares at Fredericka Mandelbaum who is standing on the Canadian side, dressed as a Native American, wearing a headdress labeled “Canada” and leaning on the “Fence.” Behind her, a man carrying a case labeled “R. S. Scott” tips his hat, and in the background are mansions labeled “Mandelbaum, Eno, [and] Stewart.”
