Description
Calendar advertisement for the year 1876 offered during the Cenntenial Exhibition. Includes an ornate border containing vignettes, scenes, allegorical figures, and other pictorial elements. On either side of the calendar, female allegorical figures within elements styled as Faberge eggs are depicted. Figures include Peace, Liberty, Mortality, Music, Poetry, and Art. Below the calendar, female allegorical figures and scenes contrast the wilderness of 1776 with an industrial city of 1876. Other elements show cupids, eagles, oval-framed vignette of the liberty bell, and floral ornaments. The lithographic studio was renamed following the partnership between Leonhardt and his son Arno circa 1874 and the firm remained in operation until the early 20th century.
