The Stride of a century - Public domain graphic arts, Library of Congress
Summary
A cartoon celebrating the centennial of the United States. The figure of Brother Jonathan, a precursor of Uncle Sam, straddles the towers of the main building at the Philadelphia World's Fair of 1876. Between his feet the North American continent, crossed by a railroad, appears on a half globe. Hot-air balloons labeled "1776" and "1876" rise toward the top of the print on either side.
