Co., New Orleans, with 13 insets or vignettes, accompanied by the original cloth-covered boards, lettered in gilt, with later coloring, 27 in. x 36 3/4 in., framed. Note: The Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exhibition offered New Orleans a chance to demonstrate to the world how its businesses and infrastructure had been revitalized by Reconstruction. The fair, however, suffered from debt and fraud and was not financially successful. Held on present day Audubon Park, the fair's exhibition building enclosed 33 acres and was the largest roofed structure in the United States up to this point. Ref.: neworleanshistorical.org
