EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CHICAGO OMNIBUS, 1882" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of late 19th century Chicago. The wood engraving, created by an American artist in 1882, beautifully captures a vibrant city scene filled with life and movement. In this snapshot of daily life, we see a busy street teeming with people going about their business. The main focus is on the omnibus, a horse-drawn carriage used for public transportation at the time. Passengers can be seen boarding and disembarking from the vehicle, highlighting its importance as a means of getting around the city. The image showcases not only the transportation methods of that era but also provides insights into Chicago's growth as a major urban center during this period. The architecture lining both sides of the street hints at progress and development while giving us glimpses into everyday buildings that were part of people's lives. The wood engraving technique adds depth and texture to this historical piece, enhancing our connection to this moment frozen in time. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technology and urbanization while evoking nostalgia for simpler times. This remarkable artwork is part of The Granger Collection based in New York City—an esteemed institution dedicated to preserving and sharing historical images like these—allowing us to appreciate our past through visual storytelling.
