EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "CHICAGO: CATTLE MARKET" takes us back to the bustling streets of Chicago in 1868. The wood engraving beautifully captures the essence of this vibrant city, as people from all walks of life gather at the cattle market. In this snapshot, we witness a scene filled with energy and activity. The pen is teeming with steers and cows, showcasing the importance of agriculture and livestock in the American Midwest during that era. It's fascinating to see how commerce thrived even then, as traders negotiate deals and buyers carefully inspect each animal. The image provides a glimpse into Chicago's rich history as a hub for trade and industry. This city was known for its strategic location along Lake Michigan, which made it an ideal transportation center for goods coming from both east and west. As we observe this piece closely, we can't help but marvel at how much has changed over time while appreciating what remains constant – people working together to sustain their livelihoods through agriculture and beef production. Granger Art on Demand has once again captured a moment frozen in time through their remarkable collection. This print serves as a reminder of our past, allowing us to reflect on the progress made since then while cherishing our roots in America's heartland - Chicago.
