A memorial chart marked for the centennial jubilee, a document that pairs printed lettering with decorative design, shows how Americans turned the 1876 anniversary of the Declaration of Independence into a matter of home and family as well as national ceremony. Charts like this were often sold to be framed and hung, recording births, deaths, and patriotic symbols in one composition. The print is dated to about 1875, the year before the Centennial Exhibition opened in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park, when such keepsakes were circulating in anticipation of the celebration. The record's attribution is unverified, so the artist and printer are best treated as uncertain.
