Book excerpt: Excerpt from Magee's: A Guide and Description to All Places of Interest in or About Philadelphia, to the Centennial Grounds and Buildings, and Fairmount Park; Illustrated Guide of Philadelphia and the Centennial Exhibition Less than half a century ago, the above couplet was the familiar rhyme to express the bounds of our old city north and south, and the regularly built up districts did not extend far above or below these lines. Now Philadelphia reaches to Alleghany avenue, No. 3200 north, and to Hartranft street. No. 3400 on the south, and from the Delaware river east to Cobb's creek, the Delaware county line on the west; forming an area of 82,603 acres, or 129 square miles, thus giving to Philadelphia the largest area of any city in the world. Philadelphia was founded by the illustrious William Penn in the year 1682. The euphonious name, so characteristic of the leader of the fraternity of "Friends," he derived from that of a city in Asia-Minor, and which in the Greek means "Brotherly Love." The first landing of William Penn on the site of his future city, was what was then known as the "Blue Anchor Landing," near to which stood the Blue Anchor Tavern, and what is now Front and Dock streets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1876 United States Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia was not only the United States' first important world's fair, it signaled significant changes in the very shape of knowledge. Quarrels between participants in the exhibition represented a greater conflict as the world transitioned between two different kinds of modernity—the Enlightenment of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to the High Modern period of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. At the center of this movement was a shift in the perceived relationship between seeing and knowing and in the perception of what makes an object valuable—its usefulness as a subject of study and learning versus its ability to be bought and sold on the market. Arguments over design of the Centennial reflected these opposing viewpoints. Initial plans were rigidly structured, dividing the exhibits by country and type. But as some exhibitors became more interested in the preferences of their audience, they adopted a more modern stance. Objects traditionally displayed in isolated glass boxes were placed in fictive context—the necklace draped over a mannequin, the vase set on a table in a model room. As a result, the audience could more easily perceive these items as commodities suitable for their own environments and the fair as a place to find ideas for a material lifestyle. Designing the Centennial is a vital first look at the design process and the nature of the display. Bruno Giberti uses official reports of the U.S. Centennial Commission and photographs of the Centennial Photographic Company, as well as the ephemera of the exhibition and literary accounts in books, magazines, and newspapers to illuminate how the 1876 fair revealed changes to come: in future world's fairs, museums, department stores, and in the nature of display itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Unfinished Exhibition, the first comprehensive examination of American art at the Centennial, explains the critical role of visual culture in negotiating memories of the nation’s past that conflicted with the optimism that Exhibition officials promoted. Supporting novel iconographical interpretations with myriad primary source material, author Susanna W. Gold demonstrates how the art galleries and the audiences who visited them addressed the lingering traumas of battle, the uneasy re-unification of North and South, and the persisting racial tensions in the post-Emancipation era.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Stranger's Illustrated: Pocket Guide to Philadelphia, Embracing a Description of the Principal Objects of Interest in and Around the City, With Directions How to Reach Them; Including the Grounds and Buildings of the Centennial Exhibition Persons unacquainted with the city should, at the outset, become familiar with the system of numbering the houses. On the streets running west from the Delaware River, the houses are divided into squares or blocks, by cross-streets, named consecutively, Front, Second, Third, Fourth, etc., and the commencement of each square or block commences also a new hundred in the numbering. For instance, at Second Street the numbering commences with 200, at Third Street with 300, at Fourth Street with 400, etc. The streets running north and south are also divided into squares in the same manner, Market Street being the dividing line between north and south.
