[New Orleans Exposition Map], "The World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition, New Orleans, LA... Plan No. 2 Map of the City of New Orleans showing location of exposition grounds and all approaches thereto by land & water", 1884, Southern Litho. Co., New Orleans, with 13 insets or vignettes, accompanied by the original cloth-covered boards, lettered in gilt, the pastedown printed with a "Stranger's Guide", sheet 27 1/2 in. x 36 3/4 in., attractively framed.
Note: The Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition, held on the centennial of the first known export of cotton from the United States to Great Britain, 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. Although the buildings constructed for the fair, held on present day Audubon Park, were among the largest in the United States to that date, all were soon dismantled.
