EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour engraving by Thulstrup captures a moment of law enforcement in action in Chicago, 1890. The scene depicts police officers arresting a suspect on the bustling streets of the city, showcasing the daily life and street scenes of this vibrant metropolis in the late nineteenth century. The artist's attention to detail brings this historical moment to life, from the clothing worn by both the officers and the suspect to the architecture of the buildings lining the street. The use of colour adds depth and realism to the engraving, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in this snapshot of American history. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when crime and justice played out on these very streets. The tension is palpable as we witness this arrest taking place, with bystanders looking on curiously at the unfolding drama. This print serves as a reminder of how far law enforcement has come since 1890, while also offering us a glimpse into what life was like for those living in Chicago during that period. It is a testament to both our shared history and our enduring fascination with capturing moments such as these through art.
