About this work
A black-and-white lithograph shows the city of Chicago engulfed by a large fire, with flames and dense smoke rising over rows of buildings and church spires. Masted ships crowd the choppy waterfront in the foreground, and small figures gather along the shore. The print was published by Currier & Ives in 1871.
