EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to early Chicago, Illinois. The image showcases a group of distinguished men wearing top hats, positioned at the center left of the frame. Their elegant attire and poised demeanor hint at their importance within society during this era. The photographer behind this remarkable piece is Samuel Montague Fassett, an American artist born in Canada in 1825. Fassett's keen eye for detail and composition is evident as he captures the essence of early Chicago with precision. The year 1865 marks a significant period in history, just after the end of the Civil War. This photograph provides a glimpse into what life was like during this transformative time for America. Printed on albumen silver paper, this image exudes a timeless quality that transports viewers back to an era long gone. It serves as a valuable historical document, preserving not only the physical appearance but also the spirit of early Chicago. As we observe these men donning their top hats and standing together, it sparks curiosity about their identities and stories. Were they influential figures shaping the city's future? Or perhaps they were simply friends enjoying each other's company? Regardless of who they were individually, this print invites us to reflect upon our own connection to history and how it has shaped modern-day Chicago.
