Chicago: Windy City
2010 By Luke Howard, Joel Anderson
About the Art
“Windy City” is easily the most well-known nickname for America’s third-largest city. The common
explanation for the nickname is a reference to the icy gusts that blow off of Lake Michigan and come
streaking down the city streets of Chicago. But the locals like to say it's called the Windy City after the
“Blowing of hot air” from the city’s politicians! Either way, our illustrators at the ADG Store
appreciate a little cultural history, so we drew and colored this early-1900s illustration of the city and
the winds coming off of Lake Michigan. Show off your favorite town with a full-sized vintage art print
or canvas banner, or opt for a set of postcards or notecards to conserve on wall space.
Our gorgeous art prints are made-to-order on high-fidelity 9-color presses. Printed on gallery-grade archival paper, each work of art is hand-trimmed, rolled, and shipped in a protective tube. Each print features an original illustration by the talented, award-winning artists of Anderson Design Group.
