Invitation to attend the unveiling and dedication ceremonies of a monument emblematic of Religious Liberty at the Centennial Grounds, Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, on Thanksgiving Day, November 22, 1876, at 12:00 PM. The invitation is a four-page, single-folded leaf printed with a bold heading and the names of the president, chairman, and other committee members. The monument was a statue by the sculptor Moses Ezekiel.

This trade card advertises Sol. Strauss, a clothier in Dayton, Ohio, who is described as "The Leading Clothier." The front of the card features a large, colorful lithograph depicting a scene of an unveiling of a soldiers' monument. The image is highly detailed and shows a crowd of people gathered around the monument. The style of the illustration and the clothing of the figures suggest the card dates to the late 19th century.  The business name and address, 28 E. Third Street, are clearly visible. The back of the card is blank.
