EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Stockyards of Chicago" takes us back to a bustling morning scene in the United States during the late 19th century. Created by William Barnes Wollen, this print showcases his exceptional talent for capturing the energy and movement of horses, cattle, and people. In this artwork, we are transported to the heart of Chicago's stockyards, where livestock was bought and sold on a massive scale. The image depicts cowboys skillfully driving herds of cattle through the busy streets as they make their way towards market. The sheer magnitude of this operation is evident as far as the eye can see. Wollen's attention to detail is remarkable; every horse seems to gallop with purpose while each cowboy exudes confidence in their role. The artist expertly portrays not only the physicality but also conveys a sense of unity among these hardworking individuals who were instrumental in shaping America's agricultural industry. As we gaze upon this historic scene, it serves as a reminder of how integral these stockyards were to Chicago's growth and prosperity during that era. This engraving encapsulates an important chapter in American history when livestock played a vital role in shaping both local economies and national identity. Bridgeman Images has preserved this extraordinary piece from Wollen's portfolio for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
