EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed print captures an engraved certificate from the Great Central Fair for the U. S. Sanitary Commission, held in Logan Square in 1864. Measuring 27.9x35.6 cm, this colourful lithograph showcases the intricate artistry of the American School from the 19th century. The Great Central Fair was a significant event during that time, serving as a platform to raise funds for the U. S. Sanitary Commission, which played a crucial role in providing medical assistance and support to soldiers during the Civil War. This certificate served as both an entrance ticket and a souvenir for attendees. The neo-gothic architecture depicted on this document reflects the gothic revival movement prevalent during that era, adding an artistic touch to its historical significance. It symbolizes not only industry and trade but also highlights public services and infrastructure development in America at that time. As we delve into this piece of social history, we are reminded of how exhibitions like these were instrumental in fostering unity among Americans while supporting vital causes such as sanitation and healthcare. Preserved by the Free Library of Philadelphia's Print and Picture Collection, this engraving offers us a glimpse into Victorian-era America through its stunning artwork and rich symbolism—a testament to our nation's past achievements in times of adversity.
