Hurrah for Kossuth! / A.W.
Lajos Kossuth, being carried on the shoulders of an American sailor, gestures and looks to the right. The sailor has his left foot in a paddle boat on its way to the American frigate "Mississippi" in the right background; his right foot is stepping on a hyena representing Austria in the left foreground. In the left distant background two Turkish men have their arms in the air, protesting Kossuth's departure.; Printed in lower margin: "Fragment of rhymes found amongst the papers of a tarry poet on board the U.S. steam frigate Mississippi, on her return to New York, Novbr. 10th, 1851: 'Kossuth is safe! The hyena's kick'd, where stars & stripes wave gets Freedom's foe lick'd! Still owe we to Europe her sympathies' debt, molasses and syrup don't charge the musket! But doll...bull...too tarry?' Can't make it out!"; Printed in upper left corner: Pl. 19.
