| Additional Information: | Celebrate American history and the upcoming 250th Anniversary of the United States (1776–2026) with this striking original 1926 Sesquicentennial International Exposition poster from Philadelphia. Designed by artist Dan V. Smith, this iconic patriotic image commemorates the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and remains one of the most recognizable pieces of early 20th‑century Americana. The artwork, often titled “The Voice of the Liberty Bell” or “The Spirit of Independence,” features a symbolic Lady Liberty draped in the American flag, standing proudly before Independence Hall. At her feet sits the Liberty Bell, accompanied by historic artillery elements that evoke the American Revolution. The powerful imagery reflects the patriotic pride and national spirit that defined the 1926 Philadelphia World’s Fair. The Sesquicentennial International Exposition (June 1 – December 1, 1926) was organized to celebrate two major milestones: 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence (1776–1926) 50th anniversary of the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia This piece is an Original Lithograph Vintage Poster, not a reproduction.
