"Looking Up Broadway from Dey Street, New York City," 1900
Add to SetSummary
Launched in the late 1890s, the Detroit Photographic Company (renamed the Detroit Publishing Company in 1905) obtained the rights to use a process known as "Photochrom," developed by the Swiss in which black-and-white photographs were converted into color images. This New York City streetscape was just one example of the many new perspectives Americans gained because of the Detroit Photographic Company.
