Catalogue containing a correct list of every article exhibiting at the seventeenth annual fair of the American Institute, 1844, with the names and residences of exhibiters [sic]
A catalogue of exhibits from the seventeenth annual American Institute fair, printed in New York in 1844 for the fair's visitors and exhibitors. The single picture is a patriotic wood engraving of a robed female figure holding a liberty pole and shield, beside a spread-winged eagle with a starred halo, a plough, a steamboat and a harbour view. A designer could draw on its emblematic 1840s American vocabulary of liberty, eagle and stars, rendered in bold, coarse line work.
