Description
View of Chicago, Cook County, I.L., 1893 / drawn & published by Th. Treutlein, Eagle Lithographing Co.
This bird’s-eye view print of Chicago, Illinois was drawn by Th. Treutlein and published by Eagle Lithographing Co. in 1892. The great World’s Columbian Exposition was Chicago’s 1893 boost towards prosperity.
