Stored in the archives of the Detroit Photographic Company, these pictures form the late 1880s to the early 1920s are some of the first colored photographs of North America. Made with a technique called the Photochrom, the photos you see were taken in black and white and their negatives were reproduced in color. This process was invented many years before actual colored photography and it allows us to see just how different, and fascinating, the world was at that time. |
