EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the view between the buildings of Chicago's Mather Building/Tower, taken between the late 1890s and the 1940s by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe. The image transports us back in time to the bustling cityscape of Chicago during the 19th and 20th centuries. The towering structures, shrouded in darkness, create an intriguing contrast with the narrow alleyway in the foreground. The fire escapes, a common feature of urban buildings during this era, add to the sense of height and depth in the image. The Mather Building, also known as the Lincoln Tower, is prominently featured in the distance, its imposing presence a testament to the architectural marvels of the time. This photograph, part of the extensive Genthe Collection held at the Library of Congress, offers a unique glimpse into the urban landscape of America during a period of rapid growth and transformation.
