Title
JM-027: Marriage of Brooklyn and New York
Summary
Editorial cartoon depicting the marriage between a woman representing Brooklyn and a man representing New York. Figures representing other towns and counties in New York state watch the wedding, with almost all of them appearing upset. The image probably refers to a consolidation in 1898 that merged the borough of Brooklyn with New York city and created a shared police force and fire department for the newly enlarged City of Greater New York.
