EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Map of Illinois Central Railroad Company's depot grounds and buildings in Chicago" takes us back to the bustling cityscape of 1855. Created by Edward Mendel, this detailed map provides a glimpse into the industrialization and growth that was transforming America during this era. The image showcases the expansive depot grounds and buildings of the Illinois Central Railroad Company, a key player in shaping transportation infrastructure across the country. The railroad tracks stretch out like veins throughout the city, connecting Chicago to other major cities and facilitating trade and commerce. As we explore this engraving, we can see how rail lines intersect with busy streets filled with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians going about their daily lives. The intricate plan reveals an organized layout designed for efficiency as well as aesthetic appeal. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the rapid development taking place in American cities during the mid-19th century. It offers us a window into an era when railways were revolutionizing travel, trade, and urban life itself. Preserved at Newberry Library in Chicago, this historical artifact reminds us of our rich industrial heritage while also highlighting how far we have come since then. It is both an educational resource for historians studying urban planning and transportation systems of yesteryears as well as a visual delight for art enthusiasts who appreciate fine engravings from bygone eras.
