Description

The Liberty Bell traveled to Charleston for South Carolina's Inter-State and West Indian Exposition, and HK-293a shows it in a central circle with "Liberty Bell" above and "July 4. 1776" below. The obverse pictures an exposition building under the dates "Dec. 1. 1901--June 1. 1902" and the full name of the fair; the exposition actually ran from December 2, 1901, to May 31, 1902. The design was struck in bronze (HK-293) and in white metal, this piece, both at 35 mm. Contemporary accounts praised the statuary and the electric illumination, and the whole project, built in a typically southern style, was nicknamed the Ivory City. White metal, 35 mm.
