EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, showcasing a street in Pullman, Chicago. The image offers a glimpse into the unique history of this independent model town founded by George M. Pullman in 1881. Created exclusively for the employees of his renowned Pullman Palace Car Company, this self-contained community was designed with meticulous attention to detail. The wood engraving beautifully captures the essence of this American town, where rows of charming buildings line the streets. Each structure tells a story of hardworking individuals who dedicated their lives to craftsmanship and innovation within the railway industry. In 1889, Chicago annexed Pullman, marking an important milestone in its evolution as part of a larger urban landscape. However, it is through images like these that we can still appreciate its original charm and character. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era when company towns were not only places of work but also vibrant communities bustling with life. This particular print from The Granger Collection serves as a reminder that behind every great industrial endeavor lies a human narrative worth exploring and cherishing for generations to come.
