Rushing the Growler - A Glimpse into Chicago's Saloon Culture, 1891
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph transports us back to the bustling streets of late 19th century Chicago. Captured in 1891 by an unknown photographer, it showcases a saloon-man known as "Rushing the Growler". Standing tall with his hands on his suspenders, he exudes confidence and charm. The image offers a fascinating insight into turn-of-the-century entertainment and socializing. The saloon was not merely a place to grab a drink; it served as a hub for community gatherings, lively conversations, and shared experiences. Men from all walks of life would gather here after long days at work or during their leisure time. In this portrait, Rushing the Growler dons a stylish hat that adds flair to his character. His pipe rests comfortably between his lips as he takes a momentary break from serving patrons. Behind him stands rows of buckets filled with frothy beer – aptly named growlers – ready to be enjoyed by eager customers. Granger Art on Demand has beautifully preserved this snapshot of history through meticulous printing techniques. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage embedded within every corner of America's great cities like Chicago.
