Illustrated image of R. Selzer's Brewery in Sioux City, Iowa. Included are an "Ice House" and R. Selzer's residence. Of note is the figure in the right of the image shown swinging on a beam, a likely representation of the influence of German Turnvereine, perhaps locally centered on Selzer, and a reminder of the close connection between beer and German culture writ large.
