Levee scene on the Mississippi

Description: Image of African American men sitting on a dock along a levee dancing, singing, playing music on a banjo, and playing cards in the foreground with a bustling port in the background showing horse-drawn wagons, cargo in barrels, crates, and bales being unloaded from steamboats lined up along the Mississippi River, including ones presumably named "Jacob Strader" and "Memphis"; some warehouses appear to say "St. Paul."
