EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the imposing presence of the Detroit Iron and Steel Company in Detroit, Michigan, circa 1903. The image, a dry plate negative, showcases the industrial might of the United States during the early 20th century. The company's massive facility, with its towering smokestacks and imposing iron gates, dominates the scene, casting long shadows over the nearby thoroughfare. The road leading up to the company's entrance is empty, adding to the sense of isolation and industry's dominance over the natural world. The Detroit Iron and Steel Company was a significant player in the American steel industry during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Founded in 1891, the company produced a wide range of iron and steel products, including structural steel, rails, and tin plate. The company's success was due in part to its strategic location on the Detroit River, which provided easy access to raw materials and transportation routes. The photograph was taken by an unknown photographer, but it is believed that Edwin H. Husher or William A. Livingstone may have been involved in its production. Today, the image serves as a reminder of the industrial heritage of Detroit and the United States as a whole. It is now part of the collections of the Library of Congress, a testament to the enduring importance of documenting the country's industrial past.
