Chicago Illustrated, in GermanJames W. Sheahan and Louis Kurz, 1866CHICAGO – SHEAHAN, James W. (1824-1883), text, and Louis KURZ (1833-1921), lithographs. [Wrapper title:] Chicago Illustrated. Chicago: Jevne & Almini, 1866. German-language version of the preceding lot. More than five million Germans came to the United States in the 1800s (with a million arriving in the 1850s alone, the decade before the present book was published), the largest foreign-language group at the time. The majority moved to the Midwest, between Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin, but they often stopped first in Chicago and those with marketable skills in the city frequently stayed. From 1850 until the turn of the century, people of German descent constituted the largest ethnic group in the city. In 1860 the German-born accounted for twenty percent of Chicago's population (Keil & Jentz, German Workers in Chicago, University of Illinois Press, 1988). The present volume with German text is unrecorded in the bibliographies. Chicago Illustrated was originally issued in parts; this volume includes 36 of the 52 plates that were issued. For English-language text see: America Pictured to the Life 23; Howes J-108; Sabin 12623.Oblong folio (280 x 353mm). Pictorial wrapper to part one, 36 tinted lithograph plates, and accompanying German text (some fingersoiling and spotting, several leaves and plates with repaired marginal tears, one text leaf with 45mm loss to lower corner). Contemporary half morocco (rebacked with original spine laid down). Provenance: owner inscription to front endpaper and title page.
