5.0 out of 5 stars A great book, April 4, 2007
This review is from: Historic Photos of Chicago (Hardcover)
This beautiful book is a product of the Chicago History Museum, showcasing many excellent pictures from throughout Chicago's history. The pictures are arranged chronologically, all of them black-and-white, and all of them sharp and interesting to look at. Every subject is covered here - Chicago statesmen and famous celebrities, great disasters (the Great Fire and the Eastland disaster), famous landmarks, and even common people.

This is a great book, one that I am really glad to have found. The pictures are all crystal clear, and have short and well-written captions. I am a fan of history and genealogy, and as such, I love seeing the sites that were looked upon by my parents, and their parents, and their parents before them. I love this book, and give it my highest recommendations!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Museum in Hardback!, April 1, 2007
This review is from: Historic Photos of Chicago (Hardcover)
This is a museum in hardback! This beautifully put together collection of photos and captions span the life of this vital and popular city. This title begins before the Great Fire of Chicago, detailing various elements and people. From there the lucky reader is transported to different time periods through the beautifully taken photos of buildings and places unique and popular for this city. It details the changes Chicago has undergone as well as immortalizing historic buildings that no longer exist.

Mr. Lewis has done an amazing job telling the story of Chicago through these wonderful photos and captions. For the bibliophile this is a must have book you'll want to add to your library. This could also be used as a reference book. This is one title I have no trouble recommending.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marcia, December 18, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Historic Photos of Chicago (Hardcover)
Purchased this for gift. He has other books with historical photos of Chicago but this had different photographs, and he enjoyed it alot. This is a good collection of photographs for people interested in history as well as architecture. Sad that so many of these fine building have been torn down.
