Memorial of the International Exhibition at Philadelphia, 1876
This is a memorial album published in Philadelphia in 1876 by Thomas Hunter, showing buildings of the Centennial International Exhibition, aimed at visitors and souvenir buyers. Its pictures are plain black-and-white line engravings of state and national pavilions with labels in several languages, set among small figures in open grounds; a designer could take their clean architectural drawing style and the multilingual captioning as a model for exhibition-era signage and layout.
