EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling City of Milwaukee in 1874. Created by Alfred Waud, a renowned American artist, this image showcases the largest city in the state of Wisconsin, USA. With its towering buildings and intricate architecture, Milwaukee stands as the commercial capital of Wisconsin during this era. The photograph provides a glimpse into the vibrant life of this thriving city with its population nearing eighty thousand souls. Divided into three districts - East, West, and South - by the junction of Menomonee and Milwaukee Rivers, Milwaukee boasts an impressive landscape that combines natural beauty with urban development. Taken from "Picturesque America; or The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant, this wood engraving captures not only the physical structures but also portrays a sense of timelessness. It allows us to appreciate how far we have come while reflecting on our historical roots. Alfred Waud's attention to detail is evident in every stroke captured within this print. From domed rooftops to intricately designed houses lining the streets, each element adds depth and character to this snapshot frozen in time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry from over a century ago, we are reminded of both our progress as a society and our connection to those who came before us. This print serves as a testament to the enduring spirit and rich history embedded within cities like Milwaukee across America's vast landscapes.
