Yerucham Tzvi Kantrowitz borrowed much from Hayim Liberman’s Chicago (1879) edition of the Hagadah, indeed here he goes as far as replacing his own name on the title-page as designated editor rather than Liberman himself! The Hagadah contains illustrations strongly influenced by an American environment (see Goldman nos. 138 and 141). See also A.J. Karp, From the Ends of the Earth: Judaic Treasures from the Library of Congress (1991) p. 304 (illustrated).
