The 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition was the first great international worlds fair held in the United States, celebrating 100 years of independence. It presented to the world a unified, post-civil war, ascendant nation whose adaptive industrial and growing commercial base became the envy of others. A sprawling manicured campus made up of cavernous thematic international exhibition halls and quaint state buildings drew over 10 million visitors. There was a humming mechanical hall, main pavilion with acres of domestic and international goods, separate agricultural and arts buildings, and even a specialized women’s pavillion. The first monorail, arm of the Statue of Liberty, first gasoline engine, and massive Corliss steam engine were just a few of the innovations on view. It was extensively photographed in 3 dimensions by pioneering stereophotographers, allowing the Photoarchive3D collection (www.Photoarchive3D.org) to project for this talk in high resolution 3D as originally intended. No AI, just well digitized vintage images. 3D glasses will be provided. Register here in advance.
