1864 Antique Artifact Fair Fundraiser Letter Northeast Philadelphia Relief Sanitary Sanitary Commission
EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1864 showcases a significant historical artifact, the "SANITARY FAIR". The image depicts a letter sent by the U. S. Sanitary Commission to inform the recipient of their appointment to the Hatters and Hatters Materials Revenue Fund at the Great Central Sanitary Fair in Philadelphia. This antique print offers us a glimpse into an important fundraiser held during the Civil War era. The Great Central Sanitary Fair was organized as a relief effort for soldiers fighting on behalf of their country. It served as both a fundraising event and an opportunity for communities to come together in support of those affected by war. Through this lithograph, we can appreciate how communication played a vital role even during times of crisis. The intricate details within this drawing transport us back to mid-19th century America, specifically Northeastern regions like Philadelphia. The text on the letter provides insight into its purpose while adding authenticity to this remarkable piece. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this valuable artifact, allowing us to reflect upon our nation's history and honor those who selflessly contributed towards relief efforts during one of our most challenging periods. Let this lithograph serve as a reminder that unity and compassion have always been essential elements in times of adversity.
