Blanchard, Rebuilding Chicago, Oct. 1871. Chicago, ca. 1871. 9¼ x 13¾. Litho with original hand-
color. Backed; marginal tears and losses, one affecting a word in the last line of the 4-line caption. One

Work crews, some smoking pipes but with purposeful looks, are handling bricks, mixing mortar
and erecting buildings. The caption informs us "fifty thousand loads of waste material were
deposited in the Lake, only one day following the great conflagration, showing energy and spirit
unparalleled. New buildings are goin[g up?] every day, and no doubt Chicago will soon again
astonish the world, by its wonderful and almost instantaneous reproduction."
