EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait, we are transported back to the late 19th century, specifically to the bustling city of Chicago in 1887. The subject of the photograph is a distinguished member of the Chicago police force, proudly donning his uniform and helmet. His authoritative presence is evident through his stern expression and neatly trimmed mustache. The image captures not only an individual but also represents the authority that these brave men held during a time when law enforcement was crucial for maintaining order in rapidly growing cities like Chicago. This policeman stands as a symbol of security and protection amidst the challenges faced by society at that time. Photographed by Loring Van Pelt, an American artist known for his exceptional portraiture skills, this print offers us a glimpse into history. It serves as a reminder of how far our society has come in terms of law enforcement practices while honoring those who dedicated their lives to keeping our cities safe over a century ago. Whether displayed in homes or offices, this powerful image allows us to reflect on our past while appreciating the progress made since then. It reminds us that behind every badge lies an individual committed to serving their community with honor and integrity – qualities that transcend time and continue to define what it means to be part of law enforcement today.
