Philadelphia: Thomas Hunter, 1876. Ca 7 1/4 x 10 3/4. Tinted lithograph. Very good condition.
From a group of images of the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia. Only two of the buildings are still standing from the exhibition, which celebrated the American centennial. This exhibition was one of the greatest tourist attractions of the era, with visitors not just from across the United States, but also from all around the world. With all the tourists and world-wide interest in the exhibition, there were many souvenirs issued. One of the most detailed and best produced was Thompson Westcott’s Centennial Portfolio. This deluxe volume included charming lithographs with decorative borders of all the buildings in the exhibition.
