EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph poster, created in late 19th century America, serves as a commemoration of the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition of 1876. The poster beautifully captures the essence of this significant exhibition that celebrated both the centennial year of American independence and the progress made since its founding in 1776. The image showcases an intricate allegorical scene, with a majestic eagle soaring above a bustling fairground filled with people from all walks of life. Symbolizing justice and freedom, the eagle stands as a powerful representation of American ideals. Text elegantly weaves through the composition, highlighting key elements such as "Centennial Fair" and "Philadelphia" emphasizing their importance to this historical event. The inclusion of prominent figures like George Washington and other founding fathers pays homage to those who laid the foundation for this great nation. Notably, women are also depicted within this artwork, reflecting their growing role in society during that era. This inclusion is particularly significant considering it was created at a time when women were fighting for equal rights and recognition. Printed by The Granger Collection in New York, this lithograph poster offers viewers today a glimpse into an important moment in American history. It allows us to appreciate not only how far we have come but also reminds us of our shared heritage and ongoing pursuit of progress.
