Few details about this 1880 gathering appear in the record, but its title points to a public feast organized by the city's citizens rather than a private party. Banquets like this were a familiar way for late nineteenth-century American cities to honor a guest, mark a civic occasion, or show local pride, usually with long tables, speeches, and toasts. In 1880 Cincinnati was a booming river city whose economy rested on pork packing, brewing, and manufacturing, and its large German community shaped much of its social life. The scene is worth studying for the scale and formality it captures.
