Abstract: 
"In The New American Village, Thrall captures four components of the new edge city - corporate, commercial, domestic, and environmental - in a way that no previous photographer has achieved... Documenting these new American places, he draws attention to the choices being made when they are built and some unexpected transformations... Always thoughtful, often striking or strangely beautiful, Thrall's remarkable images capture vast suburban world where, in ever increasing numbers, Americans are choosing to spend their lives."

Chain O' Lakes

Catalog Number: 
Book, Maston, Wendy
Date: 
2006
Abstract: 
"The Chain O' Lakes region has been one of Chicago's premier vacation spots since the 1880s. The nine major lake basins - Catherine, Channel, Grass, Bluff, Marie, Fox, Nippersink, Petite, and Pistakee - are all connected by the Fox River waterway and have for over 100 years been northern Illinois leading destination for inland boaters, fishermen, picnickers, or those just hoping to relax and play at the beach. Luxurious mansions and swank resorts once dotted the more than 6,000 acres of shoreline. Many are gone today; some remain but have been vastly changed, but none are forgotten. Captured here in over 200 vintage postcards are scenes from the chain's heyday, scenes that will seem at once faraway and familiar to the water-skiers, windsurfers, and other-outdoor recreationists who populate the Chain O' Lakes today."
