EDITORS COMMENTS
This print offers a unique perspective of Kansas City's transformation from a small frontier town in 1855 to a bustling metropolis in 1887. The image on the left, dated 1855, presents a panoramic view of the city as it once was, with its modest buildings, winding rivers, and open spaces. The tranquil scene is a stark contrast to the dynamic cityscape on the right, which showcases several bird's-eye views of the impressive structures that emerged over the following three decades. The 1887 image reveals a city in full bloom, with the Union Depot, City Hall, and the Grand Avenue Bridge dominating the skyline. The Union Depot, a symbol of progress and connectivity, is depicted as a grand edifice with a commanding presence. City Hall, a testament to the city's growth and prosperity, stands proudly at the heart of the city, surrounded by a burgeoning commercial district. The Grand Avenue Bridge, an engineering marvel of its time, is shown as a vital link connecting the east and west banks of the Missouri River. This print, dated August 23, 1887, is a fascinating glimpse into the past, illustrating the remarkable transformation that Kansas City underwent during the latter half of the 19th century. The image serves as a reminder of the city's rich history and its resilient spirit, which continues to thrive and evolve to this day.
