EDITORS COMMENTS
This steel engraving from the 1860s showcases the bustling scene outside J. A. Dougherty's Sons Grain Distillery & Warehouse in Philadelphia. The image captures a snapshot of American industrialization during this era, with its intricate details and lively atmosphere. In the foreground, a horse-drawn wagon loaded with barrels stands ready to transport the precious whisky produced within the distillery. The street is filled with activity as workers go about their daily tasks, while smoke billows out from the tall chimneys of the factory building in the background. The architecture of the grain distillery and warehouse is impressive, reflecting both functionality and grandeur. Its size dominates over neighboring buildings, symbolizing its importance within Philadelphia's economic landscape at that time. This print offers a glimpse into an important aspect of Philadelphia's history - its role as a hub for whiskey production during this period. It serves as a reminder of how industries like distilling played a significant part in shaping cities across America. As we admire this artwork by The Granger Collection, we are transported back to an era where craftsmanship and hard work were valued commodities. This print not only captures a specific moment in time but also evokes nostalgia for an age when industrial progress was transforming cities like Philadelphia into thriving centers of commerce and innovation.
