Artifact Overview
Detroit Photographic Company promoted its thousands of images -- sold in the form of color postcards, prints and photo albums -- with railroad cars converted into mobile galleries. The company's photographs depicted everything from city streets to natural landscapes, and they were distinguished by the special "Photochrom" colorization process that made black-and-white images look like color photographs.
