This wood engraving records the Cincinnati Industrial Exposition, a large trade and manufacturing fair of the early 1870s, as drawn by H.F. Farney and published across two facing pages of *Harper's Weekly* on October 19, 1872. Because the weekly relied on artists' sketches that engravers then translated into blocks of wood, the scene reflects an on-the-spot view of the crowds and exhibits rather than a photograph. Prints like this one show how illustrated newspapers and magazines introduced industrial fairs to readers across the country, and they remain a useful record of how Cincinnati presented its manufacturing strength to the public in that period.
