EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Tribune Building, located at the corner of Dearborn and Madison Streets in Chicago, Illinois. Taken by renowned American photographer George N. Barnard in 1871, just before the devastating Great Chicago Fire, this image captures a moment frozen in time. The grandeur of the Tribune Building is evident as it proudly stands tall amidst its surroundings. The intricate architectural details are beautifully highlighted in this albumen silver print, showcasing the craftsmanship that went into constructing this historical landmark. The composition draws attention to the intersection itself - a bustling hub of activity with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians going about their daily lives. It offers a glimpse into life during that era, capturing both the energy and tranquility of city living. Barnard's expert use of light and shadow adds depth to the photograph, emphasizing certain elements such as ornate facades or towering structures. The negative was captured just before tragedy struck; however, this print from 1872 serves as a testament to resilience and rebirth after destruction. This print from Liszt Collection transports us back to an important chapter in Chicago's history while also celebrating architectural beauty that has stood the test of time. It serves as a reminder of our ability to rebuild and reinvent ourselves even after facing adversity.
