Real Chicago

4.4/5 ( ratings)

Life. Death. Hope and despair. War and peace. The Cubs and the Sox. This was
daily grist for Chicago Sun-Times photographers as they roamed the city for the
past six decades.
        Once called
Chicago s Picture Newspaper, the Sun-Times has created a reputation for
documenting Chicago that includes two Pulitzer Prizes for photography.
        Now, for the first time, this
remarkable record has been gathered into an artistic and historical look at
Chicago. It shows the Metropolis of the Midwest as it battered its way through
World War II, endured population booms and busts and transformed itself into the
city by the lake we know today.
        Real Chicago.
Some of the photographs will look pleasingly nostalgic.
Some will seem shockingly new. All help define Chicago. This is the first major
book on Chicago photojournalism and the first picture book that details the
city s modern history. It includes dozens of never-before-seen photographs taken by
the Weegees of Wabash Avenue.
