Centennial fun

1876 · [s.l. : s.n.] · 4 pictures

Centennial Fun is an 1876 American humor book of pictorial satire on the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition, published in an unidentified place by an unnamed publisher for a general readership. Its pictures are pen-and-ink wood engravings of crowded interiors, street scenes and bar counters, with caricatured figures in exaggerated gestures and costumes that a designer could draw on for period comic cartoon energy, dense crosshatched shading, and mid-nineteenth-century fashion.
