EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and architectural brilliance of the Pilaster Capital from the Marshall Field Wholesale Store in Chicago, Illinois. Taken in 1885/87 by renowned architect Henry Hobson Richardson, this image showcases his remarkable craftsmanship and attention to detail. The pilaster capital, made of striking red granite, stands as a testament to Richardson's innovative design style that revolutionized American architecture in the late 19th century. The intricate relief work on the stone surface adds depth and texture to the overall composition, creating a visually stunning piece of art. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, this photograph allows viewers to appreciate not only Richardson's skill but also serves as a window into America's rich heritage. The patterned decoration on the capital reflects an era when decorative elements were highly valued in architectural design. With its bold colors and strong lines, this image transports us back to a time when craftsmanship was celebrated and buildings were designed with both functionality and beauty in mind. It is a reminder of how architecture can shape our surroundings while leaving an indelible mark on history. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece captured over a century ago, we are reminded of America's enduring artistic legacy and how it continues to inspire contemporary architects today.
