Rare Philadelphia Centennial Exposition fan Japan, 1876

Beneath this motto a color illustration depicts a view of the innovative manufacturing and engineering marvels of a burgeoning American industrial revolution: railroads, factories, suspension bridge, modern weaponry, hot-air balloon, telegraph, iron-clad ships.
