Gesangverein Virginia Held an Event

These German-language cartoons celebrated an event held on March 29, 1880, by the German male choral society, Gesangverein Virginia (German for "Singing Association of Virginia"). The society was organized in 1852 in Richmond and continues today primarily as a men's social club that promotes the German language and culture, as well as good relations between German-speaking countries and America.
