EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the night view of Dearborn Street in Chicago, USA, as it looked in 1911. Taken from Van Buren Street, looking north, the image showcases the city's modern architecture bathed in the soft glow of moonlight. The towering buildings, adorned with intricate windows, stand proudly against the dark backdrop of the night sky. The pavement below is illuminated by the yellow glow of gas lamps and the faint reflection of the moon. The tranquil scene is in stark contrast to the bustling activity on the street below. Trams, their tracks visible in the foreground, glide smoothly along the road, transporting people through the city's vibrant nightlife. The traffic on Dearborn Street continues unabated, adding to the sense of energy and movement. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, a time when the city never truly slept. The people of Chicago went about their business, undeterred by the darkness, and the city's infrastructure, from the trams to the gas lamps, worked tirelessly to keep up with their needs. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and vitality of the city of Chicago and the American spirit. It invites us to take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the urban landscape, even in the stillness of the night.
