Thompson Westcott, a distinguished lawyer, journalist, and historian, played a significant role in documenting Philadelphia’s history and its grand events. His writings on the 1876 Centennial Exhibition, held in Philadelphia to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, are particularly notable. As the author of the Centennial Portfolio: A Souvenir of the International Exhibition at Philadelphia, 1876, Westcott chronicled the artworks and cultural achievements showcased at this monumental event. The Centennial Exhibition was a showcase of art, technology, and industry from around the world, and the paintings displayed offered a rich reflection of the era’s artistic trends. Westcott’s keen observations and detailed descriptions captured the diversity of styles and subjects presented by artists from the United States and abroad. His guidebooks and historical works, such as the “Official Guide-Book of Philadelphia” and “Historic Mansions and Buildings of Philadelphia,” provided visitors with insights into the art, architecture, and heritage of the city. Westcott’s contributions, including his co-authorship of the History of Philadelphia 1609-1884, positioned him as a vital figure in preserving the city’s cultural and historical legacy during a period of rapid growth and international recognition.
