Munyon, J. M. · 1876

Titled “The Flag That Waved One Hundred Years: A Scene on the Morning of the Fourth Day of July 1876.” This chromolithograph depicts a tranquil scene with a black man, a white man, two white women, and a little girl raising an American flag on a rooftop or terrace overlooking the U.S .Capitol. The print was drawn by immigrant artist Dominique C. Fabronius and produced by E. P. & L. Restein. It's idealized view of America would have been popular as a Centennial commemorative and it is a clear idication about how important celebrating theFourth of July was as an annual celebration but expecially during the Centennial year.
