Chicago
Architects Daniel H. Burnham and Edward H. Bennett created a master plan for Chicago published in 1909 proposing that Chicago could be as beautiful as any European city as well as commercially successful. Spectacular presentation drawings were executed to help convey the ideas in the Plan of Chicago. Some of the most beautiful visions for the future city were executed by New York renderer Jules Guérin.
