Book Description

The first volume in a three-volume set of highly sought-after books that covers the art and sculpture on display at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia. Originally published in 1876 by writer Edward Strahan, the three-volume "Masterpieces of the Centennial Exhibition" series is the closest that we can experience this remarkable, historic event today. Strahan left no stone unturned and covered nearly every detail of the Fair with words and lavish images that preserve it for audiences now and into the future. This enormous tome of artwork and artistic critique is profusely illustrated with hundreds of meticulous engravings that show the most delicate details in statues, paintings, sculptures, and more, which filled the Fine Art building. An art historian digitally scanned and re-mastered each 19th-century image from a priceless pristine copy of the original print. Masterpieces of the Centennial Exhibition 1876 Volume 1: Fine Art Illustrated Special Edition is presented in the original type font with the author's intended layout. A new, retro-inspired cover design was created exclusively for this handsome reprinting. Strahan's landmark book series is rich with information about the remarkable 1876 World's Fair. Held in Philadelphia just a few years after the end of the Civil War, this massive event celebrated America's 100th anniversary of independence. The world came together in peace to admire art, technology, and science. Historians and art enthusiasts alike will find themselves immersed in contemporary writing, period imagery, and a thorough analysis of the pieces on display. One can almost imagine that they're there, soaking in the sights and sounds of the most fabulous party on Earth in 1876.

Book Description

Excerpt from The Masterpieces of the Centennial International Exhibition, 1876, Vol. 1: Fine Art The government was so satisfied with the good effects resulting from this exhibition, that it resolved to hold them annually; but notwithstanding the Circular of the Minister of the Interior to this effect, the disturbed state of the country prevented a repetition until 1801. The First Consul taking the greatest interest in the affair, visited the factories and workshops of the principal towns in France, to convince the manufacturers of the great importance to themselves and their country of favoring the undertaking. A temporary building was erected in the quadrangle of the Louvre, and notwithstanding great difficulties attending the establishment of the exhibition, there were two hundred competitors for prizes; ten gold, twenty silver, and thirty bronze medals being awarded, - one of the last to Jacquard for his now famous loom. Among these prizes, were some for excellence in woollen and cotton fabrics, and improvements in the quality of wool as a raw material.
