EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1878 showcases the Palmer House Hotel in Chicago, Illinois. The focal point of the image is the mesmerizing tropical garden and greenhouses that adorn the hotel's roof. The intricate wood engraving beautifully captures the lushness and exoticism of this hidden oasis amidst a bustling city. The Palmer House Hotel was renowned for its opulence and grandeur during this late 19th-century period. This image allows us to peek into its interior world, where guests could escape to a serene environment filled with vibrant ferns, palm trees, and other tropical flora. It serves as a reminder of how architecture seamlessly blended with nature even back then. The rooftop garden not only provided an enchanting retreat for visitors but also showcased Chicago's innovative spirit by incorporating green spaces into urban landscapes long before it became popularized today. This unique feature made the Palmer House stand out among its contemporaries. As we gaze upon this historic print, we are transported back in time to experience a moment frozen forever - when elegance met botanical beauty atop one of Chicago's most iconic hotels. It is a testament to human creativity and our constant desire to create havens of tranquility amidst the chaos of city life.
