An edition of the first illustrated Haggadah in America to show influences of the new environment. An American family seated at the seder table presents a new version of the depiction of the "four sons" described in the haggadah. The Wise Son, kippah (or skullcap) on head, is looking at the haggadah before him. The Wicked Son, bare-headed, his chair tilted back, is smoking a cigarette.
