In 1876, America had its One Hundredth Birthday. We called it the "centennial," and it was celebrated by all Americans.
Manufacturers of various goods used the opportunity to create Centennial-related items of all sorts.
By 1876, the U.S. had established a prosperous domestic fabric industry, and many mills produced printed cotton fabrics honoring the Centennial in words, numbers, and images.
This Log Cabin "Courthouse Steps" variation, made on foundation, features one such Centennial print. Check out the photo details to see the American flags and an image of a rolling cannon.
Excellent Condition.
