EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling City of Chicago in 1860. With a hand-colored woodcut technique, this vintage illustration captures the essence of American business and trade during the 19th century. The image showcases an expansive view looking west from Lake Michigan, revealing a city on the rise. The heritage and traditional charm emanate from every corner of this historic scene. A vibrant water front comes alive with ships and boats dotting the harbor, as steamboats gracefully navigate through Lake Michigan's waters. The wharf is abuzz with activity, serving as a hub for commerce and connecting Chicago to other parts of North America. One cannot help but marvel at the intricate details that bring this artwork to life—the meticulously drawn sailing ships gliding across the horizon, while merchant vessels line up along the Chicago River. This snapshot encapsulates an era when Chicago was emerging as a prominent player in United States' Midwest region. As we gaze upon this piece of artistry, it serves as a reminder of how far our beloved Windy City has come since its humble beginnings in the mid-1800s.
