EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from the 19th century takes us back to the year 1812, showcasing Fort Dearborn as it stood proudly on the site of what is now Chicago, Illinois. The intricate details of this print allow us to immerse ourselves in a bygone era and witness the early beginnings of this iconic American city. The scene depicts a scenic view of Fort Dearborn against a backdrop of lush greenery and flowing waters. A majestic American flag flutters proudly atop the fort, symbolizing strength and patriotism. In the foreground, we see individuals engaged in various activities that were characteristic of life during that time period. A group of fishermen skillfully maneuver their canoes along the river, casting their nets into its depths in search of sustenance. Their presence reminds us of the importance placed on self-sufficiency and resourcefulness in those early days. The fort itself stands tall and sturdy, serving as both a protective stronghold for settlers venturing into unknown territories and a beacon for trade with Native American tribes who inhabited these lands long before European arrival. As we gaze upon this historic image captured through an artist's skilled hand, we are transported back to an era when Chicago was just beginning to take shape. It serves as a reminder not only of how far this great city has come but also pays homage to those who laid its foundations with courage and resilience.
