Description
An account of the resource
Membership certificate for the relief society, later the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, organized in Philadelphia in 1771. A large central oval contains an allegorical scene showing the classical figures of Hope, Columbia, and Concordia near a column marked "Hibernian Society." The women welcome immigrants disembarking from a sailing ship on long boats. Hope leans on an anchor; bare-breasted Columbia (i.e., United States) holds a shield; and Concordia, a bag of money in her hand and an Irish harp resting behind her, reaches out to an allegorical female arrival. An American eagle with a shield, and tools and symbols of agriculture and industry border the oval.
