EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MAP: CHICAGO, 1872" takes us back in time to the city of Chicago before it was ravaged by the devastating fire of October 8th, 9th, and 10th, 1871. Lithographed by William Flint around the year 1872, this aerial view showcases a bustling metropolis on the cusp of transformation. The image captures the essence of late-19th century America with its vibrant energy and rapid urban development. The Chicago River winds through the city like a lifeline, connecting various neighborhoods and serving as a vital trade route. Sailboats and steamboats gracefully glide along Lake Michigan's shimmering waters while boats docked at the harbor await their next voyage. The intricate details depicted in this lithograph reveal an array of architectural marvels that once adorned Chicago's skyline. Stately buildings stand tall alongside churches, showcasing both commercial prosperity and spiritual devotion within this growing community. Railroads crisscross throughout the cityscape like veins pulsating with lifeblood. However, amidst all this grandeur lies an ominous reminder - just one year prior to this depiction, tragedy struck when a catastrophic fire engulfed much of Chicago. This historical event forever changed the landscape but also served as a catalyst for rebirth and resilience. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art from Granger Art on Demand's collection curated by The Granger Collection in NYC, we are transported back to an era where progress collided with adversity;
