This bird's-eye panorama shows Chicago's streets, rail lines, and lakefront in a single sweeping view, drawn as if seen from above at an angle. It was issued in 1893, the year the city hosted the World's Columbian Exposition and drew visitors from across the country. Panoramic maps like this one combined surveyed detail with pictorial perspective, making them useful guides and attractive records of a city still rebuilding and expanding after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. The lithograph credits Reynertson & Beckerman with the work, printed by the Eagle Lithographing Company.
