Marked for September 15 through 17, 1887, this lithograph ties a march to the three-day observance of the Constitution's centennial. The Constitution was signed in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787, and the 1887 celebrations, with their parades and public ceremonies, drew on the patriotic enthusiasm of the Centennial era. The record describes the sheet as a music title page, so the image likely served to advertise or sell the score as a souvenir of the anniversary. The record gives few further details, so its composer and the exact arrangement of the design are unclear.
