EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic map of Pullman, Illinois, dating back to the late 19th century. The meticulously detailed line engraving provides a glimpse into the planned community founded by George Pullman in 1885 for his railroad company workers. The map reveals the layout of this American town, with its neatly arranged streets and buildings. It transports us back in time to an era when urban planning was still in its infancy but held great promise for creating harmonious living spaces. Pullman's vision for this unique community is evident as we explore the intricacies of the engraving. Every street seems purposefully designed to foster connectivity and convenience for its residents. The northward expansion highlights growth potential and reflects Pullman's ambition to create a thriving hub within close proximity to Chicago. As we study this historical artifact, it becomes clear that more than just a simple map, it represents an ambitious endeavor aimed at improving the lives of working-class individuals during a pivotal period in American history. Through this print from The Granger Collection, we are reminded of George Pullman's legacy as an innovative entrepreneur who sought not only economic success but also social progress through thoughtful urban planning. This artwork serves as both a testament to his vision and a window into America's past - where dreams were built upon maps like these.
