EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from the late 19th century, we witness a momentous occasion at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia. The image showcases Brazilian Emperor Dom Pedro II and President Ulysses S. Grant as they jointly inaugurate the Corliss Engine, an extraordinary feat of engineering that symbolized progress and power. The scene is set amidst a bustling crowd, eagerly awaiting this historic event. As onlookers gather around, their faces filled with anticipation and awe, it becomes evident that this exhibition holds great significance for both American and Brazilian citizens alike. President Grant, representing the young republic of America, stands tall beside Emperor Dom Pedro II, who had traveled all the way from Brazil to attend this grand fair celebrating North American achievements. Together, these two leaders embody a spirit of collaboration and friendship between nations. As they prepare to start the Corliss Engine - a marvel of energy and innovation - one can almost feel the excitement emanating from them. This magnificent machine represents not only technological advancement but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity. This contemporary engraving by Simpson captures a pivotal moment in history when cultures converged in celebration of progress. It reminds us of our shared aspirations for growth and development while honoring those individuals who paved the way for future generations.
