Printed as the title page of a commemorative volume, this design carries the name of *Frank Leslie's Illustrated Historical Register of the Centennial Exposition, 1876*, and its allegorical imagery reflects the patriotic mood of that year. The Centennial Exposition opened in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park in May 1876 to mark a century since the Declaration of Independence, and it drew millions of visitors who came to see machinery, art, and manufactured goods from around the world. Frank Leslie's firm was a major publisher of illustrated newspapers and books, and its Centennial guides were among the popular souvenirs sold at the fair.
