Nashville, TN, October 29, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The History of Christmas in Chicago Told Through Historic Photographs.
Well-known for its blustery, freezing weather, Chicago has been prominent in the imaginations of many when picturing a white Christmas. The story of this city’s holiday traditions reflects a unique culture that presents itself still in today’s holiday festivities.
With fact-filled photo captions and chapter introductions by author Rosemary K. Adams, Historic Photos of Christmas in Chicago rediscovers the fascinating past of the city’s Christmastime through nearly 200 rare photographs culled from the Chicago History Museum, showcased with exceptional clarity and beauty. This makes a beautiful book for any holiday, history, or photography enthusiast.
From Santa Clause, Nativity scenes, and snowmen, to images of shopping for gifts, decorating trees, and donating to the less fortunate, and much more, Christmas in Chicago shines through the decades in glorious black-and-white photography, displayed in a large format.
“This book is unique for two reasons,” explains publisher Todd Bottorff, “the high quality of printing and binding and the fact that many have never seen these photos.”
Historic Photos of Christmas in Chicago is part of Turner Publishing’s Historic Photos series. These books, highlighting the history of the great cities across America, have been acclaimed as a staple in the collection of anyone who loves history.
