EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mill Pond at Minneapolis, 1888" by Alexis Jean Fournier takes us back in time to the bustling city of Minneapolis in the late 19th century. The oil on canvas artwork, measuring 43.18 x 66.04 cm, is housed in the prestigious Minneapolis Institute of Arts. The painting depicts a picturesque view of Mill Pond from the west side of the river, offering a glimpse into the thriving industrial landscape that defined this era. In the foreground, we see carriages and railway tracks symbolizing progress and connectivity brought about by James J. Hills' Union-Northern Pacific Railroad. The focal point of this scene is undoubtedly the magnificent stone arch bridge completed just five years prior to Fournier's work. This architectural marvel stands proudly as it spans across the Mississippi River towards the University area. Fournier's attention to detail brings life to every element within this cityscape panorama – from smoke billowing out of factory chimneys to people going about their daily lives along its banks. As we admire this masterpiece, we are transported back in time and reminded of how industry shaped American towns like Minneapolis during an era when railroads were transforming landscapes and connecting communities across North America.
