Just in time for this great weather, Curbed Chicago and the
Chicago Public Art Group have created a Google Map identifying
great examples of public art underneath Chicago’s overpasses.
The map includes several murals that are in Hyde Park, so happy
exploring! For more information about public art resources, see
our post about the Public Art Archive. Millions of photographs
from the LIFE photo archive are available via Google Images,
only a small number of which have been published. Eventually the
project will include about 10 million images. You can search
specifically in the LIFE search portal, or you can add
“source:life” to any Google image search to return only images
from the LIFE photo archive. The archive includes documentary
photography by many well-known photographers working in the
magazine industry during the hey day of photojournalism,
including Margaret Bourke-White, Alfred Eisenstaedt, The very
first cover of LIFE magazine was a photograph taken by Margaret
Bourke-White of Fort Peck in Montana.
