Description

View of Centennial Exhibition grounds, Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, P.A., 1876 / drawn & published by Graphic Company.

This reproduction birdï¿½ï¿½ï¿½s-eye view of the Centennial Exhibition grounds at Philadelphia was drawn from official topographic surveys made expressly for the Daily Graphic by the Graphic Company in 1876. Considered the first worldï¿½ï¿½ï¿½s fair of its kind, the International Exhibition of Arts, Manufactures and Products of the Soil and Mine, commonly called the Centennial Exhibition of 1876 took place at Fairmount Park, just across the Schuylkill River from Philadelphia from May 10 to November 10.

Although a heat wave that year limited visitors during the summer months the fair was reportedly attended by over 10 million visitors. The celebration of the countryï¿½ï¿½ï¿½s past, present and future showcased pioneer living and displayed such future innovations as the Corliss Steam Engine, the John Bull steam locomotive, Alexander Graham Bellï¿½ï¿½ï¿½s telephone, Singerï¿½ï¿½ï¿½s sewing machine and Remingtonï¿½ï¿½ï¿½s Typographic Machine.

The Statue of Libertyï¿½ï¿½ï¿½s right arm was displayed holding the torch. Visitors were able to climb up to the torchï¿½ï¿½ï¿½s scenic balcony for 50 cents. Most of the exhibition buildings were dismantled or moved at the completion of the fair.

The image from 1876 includes lively scenes of fair activity and exhibition halls. The Schuylkill River is depicted in the foreground.
