EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Plan of Chicago, showing the Extent of the Fire" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a detailed illustration of the aftermath of one of America's most devastating disasters – the Great Chicago Fire. The image showcases a bird's-eye view of Chicago, Illinois, revealing the extent and destruction caused by the fire that ravaged the city. The streets are depicted as charred remnants while billowing smoke still lingers in some areas. This visual representation allows us to grasp the magnitude and scale of this catastrophic event. Originally published in The Illustrated London News on October 21st, 1871, this engraving serves as both documentation and reflection on a pivotal moment in American history. It provides viewers with insight into not only how far-reaching and destructive fires can be but also highlights humanity's resilience and determination to rebuild. As we gaze upon this historic artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of our ability to rise from ashes and rebuild even stronger than before.
