Additional Information
Drawn by Charles Rascher and published in 1878 by Walsh and Company of Chicago, this panoramic bird's-eye view presents the Great Union Stock Yards sprawling across seventy-five acres on the city's south side. Covered pens, open corrals, and fifty miles of track fill the vast grounds.
Opened on Christmas Day 1865, the yards consolidated nine smaller operations into a single facility that transformed the American meat trade. The daily capacity reached a staggering 25,000 head of cattle, 160,000 hogs, 10,000 sheep, and 1,000 horses arriving from ranches across the western plains.
The operation made Chicago the undisputed meatpacking capital of the world, drawing massive investment from firms like Armour, Swift, and Morris. Refrigerated railcars developed during the 1870s carried dressed beef to Eastern markets, eliminating the need to ship live animals thousands of miles.
This reproduction provides insight into an enterprise that fed a growing nation and reshaped agriculture from the Great Plains to the Atlantic seaboard. Considered among the finest views of American industry from the era, it brings bold commercial heritage to any office, study, or living room.
