Item 483554-5 ◊ 1876 One Leaf From the Historical Register, Centennial Exposition,Philadelphia, PA

Unique and fascinating \"1876 One Leaf From the Historical Register, Centennial Exposition, Philadelphia, PA.-pages 37-38.\" The original newspaper was published by Frank Leslie, 1876, New York. It measures approximately 16\" x 11-1/2\" (≈40.5 cm. X 29 cm.)

Offered here is one leaf (pages 37-38) of this \"Historical Register Newspaper. (Unfortunately we do not have the whole Register, but we will be offering several pages of it over the next few week. This register was crammed with some of the most large and beautiful illustrations you\'ve ever seen. This was something Frank Leslie\'s organization was known for.

Page 37 has one amazing illustration … which is actually two parts combined into one. On the bottom it shows the men blasting out the tree stumps in the centennial grounds, and on the top it shows the men putting down asphalt for the roads and walkways. It\'s amazing to think that they did all that by horse and cart. We believe this beautiful illustration is suitable for framing.

Page 38 has several small illustrations: one of the Indiana State Building, one of the Swedish School House, and one of the Headquarters of the Japanese Commission (erected by native workmen.). In addition to the illustrations, there are several articles explaining how the various agricultural sections are organized during the Expo. In addition there is a \"Sketch of the early history of American Industry.\" Every page of this register took the opportunity to educate the foreigners coming to Philadelphia about the various industries in the USA.

The 1876 Centennial Exhibition was the first great gathering of machine tool builders and assembly equipment vendors in the United States. It featured more than 30,000 exhibitors spread out in 190 buildings on a 256-acre site. Almost 10 million visitors (the U.S. population at the time was only 46 million) from around the world attended

We all know that there was an industrial revolution going on. And in the USA research was taking place in every field. Historians claim the Philadelphia fair transformed the global image of the United States. Before 1876, Europe had generally viewed the United States as an upstart country.

Mass-produced products on display included sewing machines, typewriters, stoves, lanterns and guns, plus horse-drawn wagons, carriages and agricultural equipment. Powerful dynamos, pumps and turbines also attracted oohs and aahs from the throngs of visitors. One of the highlights of the fair was the first public showing of the arm and torch of the Statue of Liberty (the rest of the giant statue would not be completed in New York Harbor until 1886).

It featured the debut of the world\'s first monorail system, Alexander Graham Bell\'s, telephone, and Thomas Edison\'s telegraph system. The people who attended went home with hundreds of new ideas for new products and for making their factories run more efficiently. Although the practical use of electricity had yet happened, Air compressors and air-powered tools were another new technology.

This outstanding two page leaf is in very good condition, and is very clean. However there is minor wear to the edges and corners. Please note that is leaf will be sent folded.
