    The "Schnitzelbank (Carving Bench) Song" was used by German-Americans to preserve and teach German language. This song was most popular for teaching children and for sing-a-longs at taverns. The poster consists of twenty-four images with rhyming lyrics, sang in sets of two in a call-and-response format. Some images are consistent across posters, while others vary. Included on this poster is an antisemitic caricature of a Jewish man.

    The social component and length of this drinking song could be compared to "Ninety-Nine Bottles of Beer." At the top of the poster, Yuengling brewery advertises their name. The beer distributor being featured at the top of the poster varied geographically.
