EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the essence of Chicago's Michigan Avenue in the 1890s. The focal point is the magnificent Leland Hotel, proudly standing on Michgan Avenue, a testament to the city's booming growth during this period. The image has been reproduced using an Albertype technique, adding a touch of nostalgia and authenticity. The bustling street scene showcases a slice of American history as pedestrians stroll along the sidewalk, showcasing their traditional attire from that era. This snapshot transports us back to a time when horse-drawn carriages were still prevalent and automobiles were yet to dominate the streets. As we gaze at this historic photograph, we are reminded of Chicago's rich heritage and its significance as one of America's great cities. Located on Lake Michigan's waterfront, it served as a hub for trade and commerce in the Midwest region. The picture allows us to appreciate how much has changed over time while also recognizing certain elements that have remained constant throughout history. It serves as a visual reminder of our connection with past generations who walked these very streets more than a century ago. With its timeless charm and historical value, this print offers us an opportunity to reflect upon Chicago's evolution while celebrating its enduring spirit.
