EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1878 showcases a sectional view of the historic La Salle Street Tunnel in Chicago. The intricate details of this print transport us back to late 19th-century America, offering a glimpse into the bustling city's transportation infrastructure. The image captures both the interior and exterior of the tunnel, revealing its impressive architecture and design. As we peer inside, we can almost hear the echoes of steamboats and row boats that once traveled through these underground passages. It is fascinating to see how this engineering marvel connected different parts of the city, facilitating trade and commerce along its route. The artist skillfully depicts the vibrant energy surrounding La Salle Street as people go about their daily activities. This snapshot in time allows us to appreciate how transportation played a vital role in shaping urban life during this era. Notably, this wood engraving pays homage to Robert de La Salle, an influential French explorer who ventured northward through North America's waterways during colonial times. His maritime expeditions opened up new frontiers for travel and trade. As we admire this historical artwork by Rene Granger, it serves as a reminder of Chicago's rich history and its constant evolution as a thriving metropolis.
