Marking exactly one hundred years since the Declaration of Independence was adopted, this piece commemorates the 1876 Centennial, with its celebrations centered in Philadelphia, where the document was signed. The Centennial Exhibition opened in Fairmount Park that spring, drawing crowds to see machinery, inventions, and manufactured goods from many countries, and President Ulysses S. Grant took part in the opening ceremonies. That connection explains its place among the presidential subjects. The anniversary was as much a showcase of the young nation's industrial progress as a tribute to its founding ideals.
