Similar to what we did last Friday, today we’ll be taking a look at eight images from the “Detroit Photographic Company,” which documented a number of structures and buildings in the Gettysburg area at the turn of the 20th century. The Detroit Photographic Company was later called the Detroit Publishing Company, and specialized in postcards of American Landscapes. The company famously employed William Henry Jackson, and went out of business in the 1920s.
