The Detroit Photographic Company took this photo on an 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative. That's huge! I don't know if this technique could even be duplicated in our digital world. And they did long exposures. That's why the man in the foreground appears blurred. I've saved a number of these photos, and you can zoom in close enough to see horstsh-t in the streets. Incredible.
