EDITORS COMMENTS
The Great Fire of Chicago: A Terrifying Scene Unfolds on Wells Street". This print captures the chaos and devastation that engulfed the city of Chicago during the infamous Great Fire of 1871. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases a pivotal moment on Wells Street as flames ravage through buildings and panic spreads among the populace. In this heart-wrenching scene, we witness the terrified citizens desperately fleeing from danger. Smoke billows ominously from every corner, creating an atmosphere of anguish and anxiety. The focal point is undoubtedly the Briggs House, which has just caught fire, intensifying fear within those who stand before it. Amidst this turmoil, a horse-drawn carriage races past in a desperate attempt to escape imminent disaster. The horses strain against their harnesses as they pull with all their might. People clad in clothing of another era run alongside them, their faces etched with terror. The image encapsulates not only the physical destruction caused by the fire but also reflects upon America's resilience in times of crisis. It serves as a poignant reminder of how communities can come together amidst adversity. As we gaze at this historical masterpiece captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to that fateful day when Chicago was consumed by flames – forever etching itself into history books as one of America's most devastating disasters.
