Chicago Union Stockyard Gate Mid Century Wall Art | Vintage Photography Gift for Home or Office

This unique, splendid vintage image is from Chicago, Illinois, captured by my late father-in-law Professor Jean Cazemajou in 1957. This sprawling livestock processing facility was the center of America's meatpacking industry from 1865 to 1971. The gate still exists today as a protected monument, but in a smaller, standalone form, and bears the inscription "Union Stock-Yard Chartered 1865" above the main arch. In this picture, a security guard enters a small room inside the gate, and another gentleman walks toward the camera on the other side of the gate, holding his hat against the bluster of the "Windy City." This picture is part of a book my wife Agnès and I are putting together with the working title "Midcentury Road Trip: Images from a French Family's American Adventure in the 1950s." She was a child during this trip. This photograph represents my passion for heritage photography. The original photo by Jean is on a color film slide which I rescued and expertly scanned and restored with painstaking faith to the original. The art print follows my principles of tender loving care outlined below. The edges of the picture show a portion of the original paper frame for the vintage color film slide.
