Irish immigants in New York City queue to send money to family members suffering from the famine of 1879 in Ireland. The famine, known as the mini-famine, was not as fatal as the Great Famines of the 1740s, but partial failure of the potato crop caused hunger and malnutrition, particularly in the west of Ireland. After an illustration in Frank Leslie's illustrated newspaper March, 1880.
