EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Grain-Vessels leaving Chicago, 1883" takes us back to the bustling cityscape of late 19th century America. The image showcases a picturesque scene on Lake Michigan, as several grain vessels embark on their journey from the vibrant city of Chicago. The monochrome engraving beautifully captures the essence of transportation and trade during this era. The steamboats stand tall against the backdrop of a serene lake, symbolizing progress and connectivity between different regions. This historic snapshot offers a glimpse into an important chapter in American history when water transport played a vital role in shaping the nation's economy. The print is part of "America Illustrated" edited by J. David Williams and published by DeWolfe, Fiske & Company in Boston in 1883. It serves as both a geographical feature and historical documentation that highlights not only the scenic beauty surrounding Lake Michigan but also emphasizes Chicago's significance as a major hub for grain exportation. As we admire this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection, we are transported to an era where nature meets industry, where ships navigate vast waters carrying valuable cargo that fuels economic growth. This print encapsulates the spirit of adventure and exploration that defined America during its formative years – an enduring testament to our nation's rich heritage.
