[CHICAGO]. KURZ, Louis (1834?1921).?A group of 4 prints from Chicago Illustrated depicting pre?fire Chicago.?Chicago: Jevne & Almini, 1866. 4 tinted lithographs as printed by the Chicago Lithographing Company, and depicting Michigan Avenue, Briggs House, Custom House, and Union Stock Yards. Provenance: Harris Bank Chicago (labels on frame). ?Of all the pictorial representations of pre?fire Chicago, these are the most finely executed. The draftsmanship is precise, the coloring restrained but appealing. Their quality alone makes them desirable, and the fact that they are rare surely does not diminish the collector?s cupidity? (Paul M. Angle in Chicago History, Fall 1951, Vol. III, No. 1). Each handsomely matted and framed (overall, 17 ? x 20 ??).
