EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Fort Dearborn in 1830, standing proudly at the mouth of the Chicago River. Built in 1804, this historic fort witnessed the remarkable growth and development of Chicago as it expanded around its sturdy walls. The wood engraving, created by an American artist in 1878, beautifully captures the essence of this significant landmark. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when bustling streets were yet to be paved and towering skyscrapers were mere dreams on the horizon. The fort stands tall amidst a landscape that is slowly transforming into a thriving cityscape. Its presence serves as a reminder of Chicago's humble beginnings and its journey towards becoming one of America's most vibrant metropolises. The intricate details etched into this engraving allow us to appreciate not only the architectural grandeur of Fort Dearborn but also glimpse into daily life during that era. We can imagine people going about their business along these unpaved streets - merchants peddling their wares, families strolling leisurely, and perhaps even soldiers patrolling for any signs of unrest or warfare. This historical gem from The Granger Collection takes us on a visual voyage through time, offering us an opportunity to reflect upon how far Chicago has come since those early days. It reminds us that beneath every modern city lies layers upon layers of history waiting to be discovered and appreciated.
