EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from the mid-19th century transports us back to Pittsburgh, circa 1860. The view of the city is beautifully depicted, showcasing its bustling industry and growing skyline. As we gaze upon this print, we are immediately struck by the sheer magnitude of activity present in this thriving metropolis. The image captures a snapshot of Pittsburgh's industrial prowess during this era. Smokestacks billow thick plumes of smoke into the sky, evidence of factories working tirelessly to fuel the city's economic growth. A steamboat gracefully glides along the river, symbolizing Pittsburgh's importance as a transportation hub for goods and people alike. Despite its undeniable beauty, there is an underlying sense of pollution that permeates through this engraving. The smoky haze hangs over the cityscape like a veil, reminding us of the environmental challenges faced by early industrialized cities. Yet amidst all these elements lies a certain charm unique to Pittsburgh - a middle-class North American city on its way towards becoming an iconic urban center. This wood engraving serves as both a historical artifact and a testament to human ingenuity and progress. As we admire this piece from Granger Art on Demand titled "PITTSBURGH c1860" let it transport us back in time and allow our imaginations to wander through streets filled with ambition and promise.
