EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling lumber trade of 19th century West Chicago, USA. The image showcases a pivotal aspect of this booming industry - the loggers hard at work down at the boom. A "lumber boom" also known as a log fence or log bag, was ingeniously designed to collect and contain floating logs that were timbered from nearby forests. These barriers were strategically placed in rivers, such as the one depicted here, serving as a gathering point for the logs before they continued their journey downstream. In this historical snapshot, we witness an army of dedicated workers laboring tirelessly amidst stacks upon stacks of timber. Their rugged determination is palpable as they navigate through this wooden maze with precision and expertise. Each worker plays a crucial role in ensuring that these valuable resources are efficiently collected and prepared for further processing. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of American industry during this era - men toiling away against nature's elements to fuel progress and expansion across the United States. This archival illustration serves as a testament to our nation's rich history and its reliance on natural resources for economic growth. Transport yourself back in time with this vintage print that encapsulates America's pioneering spirit and pays homage to those who shaped our country through their tireless efforts in industries like lumber trade.
