Chicago Leland

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this hand-coloured print of the Leland Hotel in Chicago from the early 1900s, as presented in The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. This vintage image transports us to an era of elegance and opulence, as the grand edifice of the Leland Hotel stands proudly against the backdrop of the bustling city. The Edwardian and Victorian influences are evident in the ornate architecture of the hotel, with its intricate brickwork, decorative cornices, and tall, arched windows. The hand-colouring technique adds a richness and depth to the image, bringing the red brick facade and green awnings to life. The lanterns lining the entranceway and the horse-drawn carriages parked outside further emphasize the early 20th century setting. The Leland Hotel was a symbol of luxury and sophistication in Chicago during this period. Opened in 1893, it was one of the city's first high-end hotels, attracting wealthy travelers and socialites from across the country. This print offers a glimpse into the grandeur of the past, inviting us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of a bygone era. As we admire the intricate details of this hand-coloured print, we are reminded of the rich history and cultural significance of the Leland Hotel in Chicago and the United States as a whole. This is a must-have for any collection of vintage Americana or Chicago history.
