EDITORS COMMENTS
CHICAGO: POLICE, 1941. A captivating glimpse into the past, this print captures a group of mounted police officers patrolling the streets of Chicago, Illinois in 1941.

In their distinctive uniforms, these officers exude authority and strength while perched atop their majestic horses. The image perfectly encapsulates a bygone era when law enforcement relied on traditional methods to maintain order in urban centers. The mid-century charm is palpable as we witness this humorous scene unfold. One officer seems to be engaged in conversation with his equine partner while another gazes thoughtfully into the distance. Their rear view perspective offers an intriguing angle that adds depth to the composition.

It reminds us of how far our society has progressed since those days while honoring those who dedicated their lives to keeping our cities safe.
