EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the early 19th century, offering a rare glimpse of Chicago as it appeared in the year 1820. The image showcases Fort Dearborn, standing proudly on the site that would later become one of America's most iconic cities. The wood engraving, created by an anonymous American artist in the late 19th century, beautifully captures the essence of this historic moment. The intricate details and delicate lines bring to life a landscape that is both awe-inspiring and humbling. In this panoramic view, we see Chicago's north side stretching along the riverbank. The fort itself stands tall against a backdrop of vast open land and scattered trees. It serves as a reminder of our nation's frontier past and its enduring spirit of exploration and settlement. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when Chicago was still emerging from its humble beginnings. This image allows us to appreciate how far this great city has come since those early days. Let this remarkable artwork serve as a testament to our shared history and remind us of the resilience and determination that have shaped not only Chicago but also our entire nation.
