Description
The "Chicago Tribune" possesses a vast historical archive of photography from the newspaper's more than 150 years in publication. From the Civil War era through modern day, it has photographed thousands of everyday Chicagoans; visitors to the Second City; as well as well-known artists, athletes, and politicians in stark, beautiful settings. This isthe first-ever collection of these stunning photographic portraits, and together they comprise an artistic take on the countless images and faces we may encounter everyday but unwittingly skim over. From the pages of a printed paper and the ever-more ubiquitous online slideshows, to the myriad faces Chicago residents and visitors pass on the street or El, "Chicago Portraits" uniquely captures the City of Big Shoulders from the shoulders up.
