EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Aeronautical Perspective: A Plane Above Chicago's Skyline, 1916. This photograph, taken in 1916, offers a unique and breathtaking view of an aeroplane soaring above the Chicago skyline, with the Art Institute prominently featured in the foreground. Contrary to the initial impression, this view was not captured from the cockpit of an aeroplane, but rather from the observation deck of a Chicago skyscraper. The image is a testament to the rapid advancements in transportation and technology during the early 20th century. The sleek and graceful silhouette of the biplane contrasts dramatically with the imposing, geometric shapes of the city's towering structures. The Art Institute, with its iconic Ionic columns and grand facade, stands out as a symbol of culture and history amidst the modern urban landscape. The photograph, although not taken from an aeroplane, provides an aerial perspective that was previously unattainable for most people. It offers a glimpse into the future, where the skies would soon be filled with aircraft and the cityscapes would continue to grow ever upward. This photograph is a fascinating reminder of the interconnectedness of art, technology, and human progress. It invites us to appreciate the beauty and wonder of both the natural world and the man-made structures that define our cities. The photograph, copyrighted by Mary Evans Prints Online, is a rights-managed image that captures the spirit of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the past while inspiring curiosity and imagination for the future.
