Artifact Overview
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.
