EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of The Auditorium and Annex in Chicago, captured in the late 19th century. This picturesque view transports us to an era of grandeur and opulence, showcasing the architectural marvels of the past. The Auditorium, completed in 1889, was a groundbreaking structure designed by the renowned architects Dankmar Adler and Louis Sullivan. Its intricate design, featuring rich colors and ornate details, reflects the innovative spirit of the time. The Annex, attached to the main building, was added in 1891 and served as a multi-purpose space for various events and gatherings. Together, the Auditorium and Annex stood as symbols of Chicago's burgeoning cultural scene and its commitment to artistic expression. This coloured photograph, taken around the turn of the century, offers a nostalgic glimpse into the past. The vibrant hues and intricate details bring the scene to life, allowing us to imagine the sounds and sights of a bustling urban center teeming with activity. The use of the Photochrom process, a popular method for producing colored photographs during this time, adds to the image's allure. This process involved hand-coloring photographs using a series of pigments, resulting in rich, vibrant colors that capture the essence of the past in a way that modern technology cannot replicate. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the rich history and cultural significance of The Auditorium and Annex in Chicago. This print serves as a testament to the enduring power of photography to transport us through time and reconnect us with our past.
