Another amazing 'Shorpy' Detroit photo

[buildingsofdetroit]

Most of 'em STILL look like crap. Even after trying the TIFF file. Just seems like a few are top shelf and a vast majority are fuzzy and small. I'd try to show you what I mean, but seeing the temp in this link, I don't think it'll work. The link is to Accident at M.C.R.R. depot, Nov. 12th, 1906, Detroit, Mich.

Here is another tip:
On the Detroit Publishing Company home page, type "Detroit" in the "Search this Collection" box. When the result page of 5000 [[!) items list displays, select the "gallery" button directly above the item title listings. This will display the results as thumbnail photos. Then just click on the photo you are interested in.

Check out the car ferries breaking the ice on the river. Absolutely stunning! 152 meg uncompressed image will have you counting the rivets on the decking!

Some are hit and miss. Try this one:

That's because there's only a few that ARE top shelf. Most are of the mid range or lower quality TIFF variety. I suppose that depends on whether or not the glass plate actually exists or not, in most cases. Or maybe not.

Here's 9 that haven't been on Shorpy yet, don't know whether the link will work or not.

I seem to have ran out of HQ images now. Before 200 on the Detroit search.
