Tennessee Centennial Exposition lithograph and primary source analysis
Description
This lithograph was used to advertise the Tennessee Centennial Exposition and was promoted by the Exposition's Executive Committee and used as postcards, flyers, and advertisements. The image depicts a rendering of the fair's neoclassical architecture modeled after Chicago's White City in 1893. This advertisement became both a symbol and ideal for Nashville as a New South City as a cultural and intellectual center in the region and nation.
