EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The American Centennial Exhibition, on the Way to Philadelphia" takes us back in time to the year 1876. Created by Walter Jenks Morgan, this print captures a momentous event in American history - the celebration of the country's centennial anniversary. In this scene, we see a bustling street filled with people eagerly making their way towards Philadelphia. The exhibition was a grand affair, showcasing the achievements and progress made by the United States over its first century. From technological innovations to cultural displays, it was an opportunity for Americans to reflect on their past and envision a brighter future. Amongst the crowd, we notice a diverse array of individuals representing different walks of life. A doll catches our attention as it is carried by someone passing through Chinese laundry establishments - perhaps symbolizing both international trade and cultural exchange during that era. A captain stands tall amidst the commotion, his presence suggesting that even those from far-flung corners like Indiana were drawn to this historic event. This engraving beautifully encapsulates not only the excitement surrounding anniversaries but also highlights how exhibitions can unite people from all backgrounds under one common purpose: celebrating their shared heritage and accomplishments. "The American Centennial Exhibition, on the Way to Philadelphia" serves as a visual reminder of America's rich history and its ability to bring together individuals from various cultures and regions for moments of collective pride and inspiration.
