This stereograph shows a display of American glassware at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia, a shelved arrangement of glass objects that the caption identifies as exhibit number 2110. The Centennial, held in Fairmount Park to mark the hundredth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, drew millions of visitors and showcased national manufacturing. Stereo cards like this one were sold as souvenirs and viewed through a stereoscope, which gave viewers a sense of depth and of walking the fairgrounds. The caption card's details are unverified, so the specific maker and display are not confirmed here.
