Artifact Overview

For nearly thirty years, 1895 to 1924, the Detroit Publishing Company was one of the major image publishers in the world. The company had a wide-ranging stock of original photographs, including this image of a steam locomotive chugging across the North American countryside. It pulls a short load: just one passenger car and a caboose.
