EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases a scene that unfolded during The Great Fire of Chicago. In the midst of chaos and destruction, we are transported to a lager-beer saloon where an unlikely refuge is found. The image captures the desperation and resilience of those seeking solace amidst the conflagration. The saloon, once a bustling hub for socializing and revelry, now stands as a symbol of hope in this ravaged cityscape. Refugees huddle together, their faces etched with fear and uncertainty, seeking comfort within its walls. Their clothing tattered and soot-stained, they cling to each other for support. Despite the devastation outside, light still emanates from above through an ornate chandelier suspended from the ceiling. It casts a warm glow on these weary souls who have sought shelter here. The bar itself stands as a reminder of normalcy amid chaos - bottles lined up neatly behind it. This engraving not only depicts a historical event but also offers us insight into human nature during times of crisis. It reminds us that even in our darkest moments, there is always room for compassion and unity. Through this artwork by English School captured in print form by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to that fateful day in November 1871 when Chicago was engulfed by flames.
