Uncle Sam and Liberty welcome a group of women labeled “Mexico, Brazil, Cuba, Peru, La Plata, Chili, Hayti, [and] Ecuador” to the World’s Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition in New Orleans, Louisiana. Excerpts from the “Republican National Platform” and the “Democratic National Platform” that warn against “entangling alliances” while promoting trade, particularly in the “Western Hemisphere,” frame the tableau.
