Description

This digital print was scanned from the silver print which was printed from the original Tri-X negative. This may be the last "real" photo ever taken of the Liberty Bell as it stood in its traditional location at the base of the Bell Tower of Independence Hall. The photo was taken with a 4x5 view camera on December 18, 1975. A week later Independence Hall was closed in preparation for moving the bell to the Liberty Bell Pavilion across the street from Independence Hall. The move took place at 12:01 PM on January 1, 1976 and so began America's Bicentennial Celebration.
