McCORMICK WORKS, 1847 - A Glimpse into Chicago's Industrial Revolution
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1847, offering a rare view of the McCormick Reaper Works in Chicago, Illinois. As we peer into this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era when industrialization was rapidly transforming cities across America. The image captures the bustling activity within the McCormick Reaper Works' grounds. Looking south towards the majestic Chicago River, we witness a hive of productivity and innovation. The exterior of the building stands tall and proud against a midday sky filled with smoke from towering smokestacks. Intriguingly detailed by Herbert Joseph's undated woodcut, this scene showcases various elements that defined life during this period. Horse-drawn carts and carriages traverse through busy streets while workers diligently operate machinery inside the hall. The yard is abuzz with wagons being loaded and unloaded as sailboats gracefully glide along the river's surface. However, amidst progress lies evidence of pollution; thick plumes of smoke billow out from chimneys hinting at both technological advancement and environmental challenges faced by early industries. This remarkable piece offers not only a glimpse into Cyrus McCormick's pioneering reaper works but also serves as a testament to Chicago's rapid growth during this transformative era. It reminds us how far society has come since then while urging reflection on our ongoing quest for balance between progress and sustainability.
