About the Item

Beneath image, in plate: [left] Copyrighted 1874, by the Centennial Board of Finance; [right] Published by Thos. Hunter, 716 Filbert St. Phil. Color lithograph by Louis Auburn, published by Thomas Hunter, Philadelphia. Commissioned by the Centennial Board of Finance, this illustration was one of a series of lithographic “souvenir” prints meant to publicize and raise funds for the upcoming Centennial International Exhibition (what would later be called the World’s Fair). Mounted from May to November 1876 in Philadelphia, the colonial capital of the Revolution, it was an opportunity for the United States to show itself as an industrial and commercial power equal to any European nation. The prints showcased the enormity of the main exhibition buildings, with this print of the Art Gallery listing its measurements below the image: 365 ft. in length and 210 ft. in width.
