EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Une rue a Chicago" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century Chicago. The French School artist skillfully captures the essence of this major city's engineering achievements during that era. The print showcases a vibrant street scene filled with human activity, showcasing the remarkable progress made in urban development at the time. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported to an era where engineers were transforming cities like Chicago into modern marvels. The intricate details within the engraving allow us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty of the buildings but also the daily life unfolding on these busy streets. From horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians going about their business to shop signs adorning storefronts, every element tells a story of a thriving metropolis. It is worth noting that this particular print was created as an illustration for "Les Grands Travaux Du Siecle" by J. B Dumont in 1891, adding another layer of significance to its historical value. Preserved within a private collection and brought to our attention by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, it serves as a testament to both artistic talent and engineering prowess from over a century ago. As we admire this enchanting piece, let us reflect on how far we have come since then while appreciating those who paved the way for our modern cities through their ingenuity and dedication.
