Original 1876 Centennial Exposition Showcase Albumen Photo Bigelow Kennard & Co.

$0.00

  • Amazing Large Albumen Print Photograph from the 1876 International Exposition
  • 9″ x 7″ Image of the Middletown Plate Co.’s Illustrious Showcase, mounted on a 10″x 8″ gilt beveled edge card, which itself is mounted on a large 12″ x 10″  back card.
  • The showcase proudly displays their finest Sterling Silver and Silver-plated wares, along with Jewelry.
  • Around them you can see booths of fellow Bostonian companies, leading me to believe this is in the Massachusetts Building at the Expo.
  • Jacques’ Cologne, Hoyes Bros., George W. Carnes & Co., Centennial Clothing House, and Jacobs & Deane Booth signs are visible.
  • Although unmarked on the currently visible areas, photograph was likely taken by The Centennial Photographic Co.  as they had exclusive rights to photo the exposition.
  • Great original Photo for any World’s Fair/Exposition Collection!
