EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "FORT DEARBORN, 1816-1856" takes us back to the early days of Chicago's history. The print showcases the last Fort Dearborn, which stood proudly on this very spot before its demolition in 1856. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a time when the city was still in its infancy. The fort itself dominates the foreground of the print, with its sturdy walls and imposing structure. We can almost feel the weight of history as we imagine all that took place within those walls during its four-decade existence. Surrounding the fort is a bustling scene: boats dotting Lake Michigan's waters and steam rising from their chimneys as they navigate through it. In the middle ground, we see buildings starting to emerge - signs of progress and growth that would eventually transform into what is now known as Chicago. This lithograph provides us with a glimpse into how this great city came to be; it captures a moment frozen in time. The inclusion of a lighthouse adds an intriguing element to this composition. It symbolizes guidance and safety for ships navigating these waters – perhaps mirroring Fort Dearborn's role in protecting early settlers from potential dangers. Overall, this lithograph serves as both a historical document and a work of art. It allows us to reflect on our past while appreciating how far we have come since then.
