Lots of detail!landmarks include the central elevator, the Grand Central Depot, the White Stockings Baseball Ground, Biookseller's Row, Tremont House, SHerman House, Court House, Board of Trade, Post Office, Chicago Tribune, Crosby Opera House, Rush Street Bridge, State Street Bridge, LaSalle Street Bridge, Wells Streeet Bridge, Michiagan Southern CRIP Railroad Depot, Site of the Ogden House, Bigelow House, Palmer House, Bartlett's Church ( Pl;ymuth Congregational), First Baptist Church, Michiga Avenue Hotel, Terrace Row, Drake Block, Chicago Times, Sheridan's Headquarters, PFW& C Railroad Depot, CA&& St. Louis Railroad, C< Cincinnati and Indiana Central Depot, Chicago and Northwestern, the Gas Works, Union Park, Washington Square, Dr. Colyer's CHurch, Water Works, Lincoln Park, Lake Shore Drive, Chicago River, North Branch, South Branch, Entrance of CHicago River into Canal, Union Stockyards, Dexter Park, SOuth Side, Lake Park, the North Side, the West Side, Briggs House, and the Grain Warehouse (where the fire began).I also am selling a version of this print on how it plooked DURING the Great Fire of 1871. It is very large (double folio size), measuring approximately 21.5 x 15.75 inches (54.5 x 40 cm). The picture fills most of the page, with a caption below. There is unrelated text/photos on the back of this print.The print has a fold in the middle, where it was folded into the magazine long ago. Note that the fold line is clean and undamaged, because it was "tipped" into the binding. This was a luxury binding technique of that era, because the double page prints were free of binding holes down the center.The page is in excellent condition for its age. See scan for an accurate view of the condition. This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
