EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lithograph from 1870 showcases an advertisement for Fowler Brothers, prominent pork packers and lard refiners of the time. The intricate design captures the essence of American city life in the late 19th century, specifically highlighting Chicago as a bustling hub for commerce and industry. The print features a birds-eye view of Chicago's stockyards, with numerous buildings and livestock pens stretching as far as the eye can see. In the foreground, a group of workers can be seen tending to pigs while others load barrels onto horse-drawn carts. This lively scene depicts the thriving pork industry that was vital to Chicago's economy during this era. The text boldly proclaims "AD: PORK" drawing attention to Fowler Brothers' high-quality products. It is evident that their reputation extended beyond local markets, as they had branches in both New York and Liverpool. The lithograph itself is beautifully detailed, showcasing architectural elements such as ornate facades on buildings and intricate ironwork fences surrounding the stockyards. This piece offers us a glimpse into America's rich history of industrialization and trade. It serves not only as an advertisement but also as a testament to the ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit that shaped cities like Chicago during this transformative period in our nation's development.
