Best Selling Image Year After Year

There is a reason that this image outsells all others throughout our site year after year. The difference between the two time periods is so outstanding. It's almost hard to believe there was ever a time on Lake Shore Drive where the looming skyscrapers weren't there to greet you as you drove into the city. This canvas will be a constant reminder of times past and that progress will always prevail.
