EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Grand Exposition Hotel, Philadelphia" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the bustling world of trade and travel. The image showcases a grand hotel that proudly stood as one of the centennial buildings during an exhibition in Philadelphia. With its impressive brick facade and elegant architecture, this hotel was truly a sight to behold. In this lively scene, horse-drawn carriages can be seen traversing the streets surrounding the hotel. These carriages were not only used for transportation but also served as mobile advertisements for various businesses. The vibrant cards displayed on their sides promote different products and services available within the city. Inside the Grand Exposition Hotel, guests would find luxurious accommodations and fine dining options. This establishment aimed to cater to both local residents and visitors from afar who came to experience all that Philadelphia had to offer. Known as the largest hotel in the world at that time, it boasted affordable rates of just one dollar per day - an incredible deal considering its opulent surroundings. Exhibitors from around the globe flocked here during world exhibitions, showcasing their wares and claiming their place in history. As we admire this enchanting print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time when grandeur met innovation at every turn. It serves as a reminder of how far hospitality has come while honoring an era where elegance reigned supreme.
