EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut takes us back to the bustling city of Chicago in the 1870s. The image showcases a significant aspect of American business and trade during that era - grain elevators loading ships bound for the Erie Canal. As we gaze upon this vintage illustration, we are transported to a time when commerce thrived on the water front. The scene depicts a vibrant harbor where steamships, sailboats, tugs, and freighters converge. The grain elevator stands tall as it efficiently transfers cargo onto merchant ships ready to embark on their journey across Lake Michigan. This snapshot of history captures not only the heritage and tradition of Chicago but also symbolizes its pivotal role in shaping America's industrial landscape. Amidst the hustle and bustle, we catch glimpses of urban life along the Chicago River - a testament to this city's rapid growth and development.
