520 _a"Our Show" by David Solis Cohen and H. B. Sommer is a humorous account written in the late 19th century. The work offers a lighthearted examination of the International Exposition held in Philadelphia to celebrate the centennial anniversary of American independence. The narrative involves a plethora of characters and whimsical events surrounding the exhibition's inception, construction, and grand opening. The opening of the book introduces a satirical take on historical events, beginning with a comedic portrayal of Christopher Columbus, before swiftly transitioning to the festivities surrounding the 1876 Centennial Exposition. The narrative humorously discusses the preparations for the event, including the role of various individuals and groups, such as ambitious women raising funds and peculiar contractors, all depicted through a blend of mock-seriousness and absurdity. As different dignitaries and nations prepare to attend the exposition, the tone remains playful, setting the stage for a vibrant and entertaining exploration of American national pride during the centennial celebration.
