EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Scenes in St. Louis, 1874" takes us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the bustling city of St. Louis in the late 19th century. Captured by renowned artist Alfred Waud, this image showcases various iconic landmarks and architectural marvels that defined the city during that time. In the foreground, we see the vibrant botanical gardens known as Shaw's Gardens, with its impressive hothouses and an inviting entrance beckoning visitors to explore nature's wonders within. Adjacent to it stands the Equitable Insurance Building on Locust Street, an elegant neo-classical structure exuding grandeur and sophistication. Further along Fourth Street looms the majestic Old Court House, a symbol of justice and authority in St. Louis. Its domed roof adds a touch of elegance to the city skyline while reminding viewers of its historical significance as a court of law. The High School on Olive Street proudly represents education and knowledge as pillars of progress for this thriving metropolis. Nearby lies the Mississippi River, with boats gracefully navigating its waters towards their destinations. Completing this panoramic view is the Grain Elevator on the riverbank—a testament to St. Louis' role as a major hub for trade and commerce during that era. Alfred Waud's masterful engraving skillfully captures these scenes from different angles, showcasing both natural beauty and man-made achievements in one frame. It serves not only as a visual delight but also offers us valuable insights into St. Louis' rich history and cultural heritage.
