EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate beauty of an elevator grille, dating back to 1893. Crafted from wrought-iron, this stunning piece of architectural design was created by the renowned duo Adler and Sullivan - Dankmar Adler and Louis Sullivan. Measuring at an impressive 187.3x148.6 cm, this close-up shot allows us to appreciate every detail of their masterful work. The artist's British background is evident in the meticulous pattern that adorns the grille, showcasing a perfect blend of English artistry with American craftsmanship. The absence of people in the frame draws our attention solely to this large group of objects, emphasizing its significance as a key feature within commercial premises. Located against a backdrop that exudes elegance and grandeur, it is no wonder that this ironwork masterpiece found its place in a private collection. Its presence adds depth and character to any space it occupies. As we delve into late nineteenth-century North America through this image, we are transported back to Chicago in 1893 - a bustling city filled with business opportunities and architectural marvels like this one. This particular elevator grille became synonymous with the stock exchange building where it resided. With its repetition and carefully applied pattern, this architectural feature serves not only as functional but also as decorative art - truly exemplifying the essence of applied arts during the late 19th century. Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into history while celebrating both European and American artistic influences on architecture during that time period.
