EDITORS COMMENTS
The devastating aftermath of the Chicago fire of 1871 is vividly captured in this colour engraving from the 19th century. The image shows a camp set up for victims near Lake Michigan, close to Lincoln Park in Illinois. The scene depicts the resilience and unity of the American people as they come together to support those affected by the tragedy.
The chaotic atmosphere of the camp is evident, with tents pitched haphazardly and survivors seeking shelter and assistance. Despite the destruction caused by arson, a sense of hope and community spirit shines through in this historical snapshot.
This print serves as a reminder of the strength and determination displayed by individuals during times of crisis. It also highlights the importance of coming together as a nation to provide aid and support to those in need.
As we reflect on this poignant moment in history, let us remember the courage and compassion shown by our ancestors in rebuilding their lives after such devastation. This engraving stands as a testament to their resilience and serves as an inspiration for future generations facing adversity.
