<b>1876, 'THE CENTENNIAL OF OUR REPUBLIC,' Commemorative Roll-Down Chart, Published by Haasis & Lubrecht, NY, Very Good.</b>
27" x 35" colorful roll-down chart was executed in honor of the nation's 100th birthday in 1876. Highly colorful lettering and illustrations include the signing of Declaration of Independence, along with text and list of signers; includes images of presidents, from Washington to Grant; and six panels related to the International Exhibition in Philadelphia, PA. ThereÕs even a facsimile of Continental currency at the bottom of the chart! Bit of paper loss in upper left, away from image but affecting border. Minor spotting and overall yellowing, but not to excess; splits and separations along the bottom edge as well. Although the piece has seen better days, it could be restored by mounting or adding canvas backing--certainly worth the effort. Lot sold 'as is.' Rare!
